As the chapters progress, their dialouge becomes erratic, and to quote the wiki, "frantic".
They live in Hometown, so there's no reason for this to be happening (nobody comments on their dialouge), unless the shelter.
There's also the gaste-

:thinking::thinking::thinking:

I hate that I need to add a full sentence

3

Gaste-

Long ago, two races ruled over EARTH.

4

Gaste—

Once upon a time, a LEGEND was whispered among shadows.

5

Gaste-
After a long tale, three more heroes will begin to prevail.

6

What kind of tale is that?

There's no Gaste-

Coming straight to YOUR house!

7

what is going on here, why is everyone failing to speak of that rapscallion Gaste-
HEY<!iEVERYa!! IT'S ME!!!

8

I don't get what the big deal is with everybody cutting off after trying to say gaste-

COLORS WEAVE INTO A SPIRE AFLAME

yeah what is up with this fellow gaste-

星のカービィが四角くなります

1992年に誕生して以来、まんまるピンクの変わらぬスタイルで 世界中のみなさまにご愛顧いただいて参りましたが、 このたび、カービィのかたちが「まる」から「しかく」に変わります。 これから先も長く愛されるキャラクターを目指して、 より多面的な活躍、多角的な発展を遂げ、 よりエッジィな魅力を持った存在に成長すべく、 カービィとにスタッフ一同邁進して参ります。 四角くなって安定感をすこれからのカービィを、 今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。

Guys, it’s not that hard. Just say gaste-

Marley was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it. And Scrooge’s name was good upon ‘Change for anything he chose to put his hand to.

Old Marley was as dead as a doornail.

Yeah, I don't know why it's so hard to say gaste-

Bro it's really not that hard to say Gaste-

Goo goo ga ga

16

I headcanon Greenste-
I was gonna paste the entire article for hometown but it exceeded the character limit and it wouldn't let me type until I restarted my laptop and I'm not gonna risk it again

17

Well there's a strategy
whenever something's going south just type Gaste-
Ah yes—the Watcher in the Water, one of Tolkien’s creepiest “we don’t fully explain this and that’s why it’s terrifying” creations. :octopus::black_heart:

Here’s what we know (and what we can reasonably infer) about its powers and abilities from The Fellowship of the Ring and Tolkien’s wider lore.

What the Watcher in the Water Is

  • A nameless, ancient creature dwelling in the pool outside the West-gate of Moria

  • Not clearly classified (not a dragon, Balrog, Orc, or known beast)

  • Gandalf implies it may be older than Sauron or from the same primordial darkness:

    “There are older and fouler things than Orcs in the deep places of the world.”

This strongly hints it’s a primeval being, possibly from the earliest ages of Middle-earth.

Known Powers & Abilities

:octopus: 1. Massive Physical Strength

  • Possesses many long tentacles (at least 12 are described)

  • Easily:

    • Grabs Frodo
    • Smashes stone
    • Physically attacks the Doors of Durin

  • Strong enough to collapse the entrance, trapping the Fellowship inside Moria

:right_arrow: This is far beyond normal animal strength.

:ocean: 2. Aquatic Ambush Mastery

  • Lives submerged and attacks from concealment

  • Perfect predator behavior:

    • Silent
    • Patient
    • Strikes fast and unexpectedly

  • Controls the pool area completely

Think apex predator + eldritch horror vibes.

:brain: 3. Intelligence (At Least Cunning)

  • Appears to deliberately block escape
  • Attacks strategically rather than randomly
  • Withdraws after the Fellowship is forced inside—suggesting purpose, not mindless rage

Not a dumb beast. Possibly maliciously aware.

:new_moon: 4. Resistance to Magic & Light

  • Gandalf uses spells and fire, but the Watcher is not destroyed

  • Retreats, but isn’t slain or visibly harmed

  • Suggests:

    • High resistance to magical attacks
    • Possibly protected by ancient power or sheer physical resilience

:candle: 5. Aura of Ancient Terror

  • Characters react with instinctive dread
  • Its presence alone feels wrong—unnatural
  • Fits Tolkien’s pattern for beings corrupted by Melkor (Morgoth)

This is less a “power” and more a cosmic wrongness effect.

What Tolkien Never Confirms (But Fans Debate)

:red_question_mark: Origin

Possibilities include:

  • A corrupted Maiar-like being (very speculative)
  • A monster bred or twisted by Morgoth
  • A survivor from the primordial chaos before the shaping of Arda
  • Something akin to Tolkien’s version of a Lovecraftian horror

Tolkien deliberately leaves this vague.

:red_question_mark: Intelligence Level

  • No speech
  • No direct communication
  • But behavior suggests intentional hostility, not animal instinct

Power Level (Rough Comparison)

  • Stronger than: Trolls, Orcs, most beasts
  • Weaker than: Balrogs, full Maiar in open combat
  • Dangerous because: ambush, environment control, ancient resilience

Why It’s So Effective as a Monster

Tolkien knew exactly what he was doing:

  • No name
  • No clear origin
  • No defeat on-screen
  • No explanation

The Watcher is scary because it doesn’t belong—and Middle-earth is full of things that shouldn’t still exist.

If you want, I can:

  • Compare it to Balrogs or Ungoliant
  • Break down movie vs book differences
  • Go full tinfoil-hat on what it actually might be

Just say the word :eyes:
