All 18 Confirmed Maiar In Lord Of The Rings Explained

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Lord of the Rings movies introduced three Maiar, but there were many more created and described by author J.R.R. Tolkien.

17 Aiwendil Aliases: Radagast, Bird Friend Close Aiwendil, better known as Radagast, was the Maia to Yavanna and, therefore, held a deep love for animals and plants. He was chosen to be one of the Istari, or wizards sent to Middle-earth to guide the Elves and Men in the fight against Sauron, alongside Saruman and Gandalf, but was never considered their equal.

After turning on Gandalf, Saruman pronounced himself "Saruman of Many Colors," revealing that he no longer possessed the purity of the "White Wizard." 10 Lungorthin Aliases: The Second Lord of Balrogs, Thane of Morgoth The second strongest Balrog after Gothmog was Lungorthin, Lord alongside his fellow fallen Maia . These two Balrogs often worked together in battle, and Lungorthin shared in the victory over King Fëanor and other notable Elves. He was known for his whistling whips, which he used to trap his enemies while Gothmog dealt the final blow.

7 Melian Aliases: Melyanna, Tóril, Gwendeling Close Melian was a Maia of Yavanna and was known as the most beautiful of her kin. She shared a connection with birds, and her voice was known to mix with theirs to create music that even Valar stopped to hear. After the Elves awoke for the first time in Middle-earth, Melian was sent as chief of the Guardians to protect them.

5 Ossë Aliases: Ošošai, Oššai Gaerys Ossë​​​​​​​ was the Maia of Valar Ulmo, who held dominion over the sea. While Ulmo saw to the depths of the oceans, Ossë's zone was along the coast, where he controlled the tides and waves. This made Ossë a popular Maia among the shipfaring folk, including the Teleri and Sindar Elves of Middle-earth.
