| - The Watcher in the Water was a horrifying and mysterious beast with many tentacles living in a stagnant pool near the Westgate of Moria in Middle-earth - a lake described by J.R.R. Tolkien as "... a dark, still lake" which was created by the damming of the Sirannon river. The water had crept deeper and deeper, closer and closer to The Doors of Durin leaving only a narrow walkway where once The High Road allowed traffic between Ost-in-Edhil and Khazad-dûm many years before during The Second Age. Some say it was the creature itself who created the dam over many decades.
- it's basically the kraken of middle earth
- The Watcher in the Water is a canonical monster from the Lord of the Rings continuum. All that is really known about it is that it lives in the water, it is large, and it has an ungodly number of slimy tentacles. In the Movies, it has a mouth similar to that of a squid, but with fangs instead of a beak, and on the top of its head along with a pair of eyes. Agent Jay Thorntree famously doted on the Watcher, much to the confusion of her partner and just about everyone else. It is used sometimes as an assassination method by agents in the Tolkienverse.

| - The Watcher in the Water lived in a lake that that was described by J.R.R. Tolkiens as "... a dark, still lake" which was created by the damming of the Sirannon river, which was located on the west side of the mine of Moria. The Watcher in the Water was one of the many dangerous obstacles standing in the way of the Fellowship. According to the most ancient tales, Melkor, the most powerful (and the most feared) of all the Dark Powers and the Valar, in his fortress of Angband bred many terrible creatures for which there were no names in the Time of Darkness before the Valar kindled the Stars. In the following Ages, these creatures were a bane on land and in the dark waters to those who lived peacefully in the World. Some of these beings of Melkor survived in the deep places of the earth in an ancient, dreamless, undisturbed sleep even until the Third Age of the Sun. It is told that when the fiery Balrog was loosed upon Moria, another being came out of the dark waters beneath the mountains. This was one of the great Krakens, a massive creature with many tentacles and a slimy sheen. It was luminous green and had an inky stench emanating from its foul bulk. For many years, it lay patiently in the black water beneath the mountains.

The Fellowship of the Ring encountered the Watcher outside the Gates of Moria, where it had been living in a stagnant pool caused by a dammed stream. It attacked Frodo specifically, leading Gandalf to observe that all the arms were driven by one purpose. Possibly Saruman had something to do with the attack, possibly not. Either way, it broke the doors behind the Fellowship, trapping them inside and leaving them no choice but to continue through the "long dark of Moria." Agent Jay Thorntree famously doted on the Watcher, much to the confusion of her partner and just about everyone else. It is used sometimes as an assassination method by agents in the Tolkienverse.
