The war of the Ring doesn't just affect the inhabitants of Middle-Earth - various beasts and creatures are also caught up in the war. Predominantly aiding the Forces of Darkness, Monsters such as the Olog-hai and Giant Bats are pressed into service and inflict terror and devastation on the front lines, whilst noble creatures such as the Great Eagles and the Ents willingly aid the Free Peoples of Middle-Earth. They are especially dangerous when faced against "clumps" of units and can also cause significant damage to Buildings.

Generally, Monsters have the advantage when fighting against Swordsmen, Pikemen and Cavalry and will be weaker against Archers and Siege Engines (particularly if flaming ammunition is used), but this is not a hard-and-fast rule - a particular Unit's Rank, the upgrades they have received and / or the abilities they have will also affect the outcome of a battle.
