I didn't know that the thing was a real character from the book- I thought Peter Jackson just sort of created an evil general character for effect. But I've only read through once, so I'm not an expert at all. I'll look it up real quick in my copy of LotR...

Eomer: You speak for me also. Nay, I felt I was looking at Sloth, the creature from The Goonies, a film from the year 1985 of the modern age.
