The Hobbit

The Statue of Dol Guldur, also known as the Necromancer Statue, is a silent but imposing figure found within the ruined fortress of Dol Guldur in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. Its origins are shrouded in mystery, but the statue is widely believed to represent the Necromancer himself: Sauron.

Its depiction varies in different adaptations, but it is often portrayed as a large, dark, and menacing figure, radiating an aura of dread and power. In Peter Jackson's films, the statue is a towering, almost skeletal form, embodying Sauron's corrupting influence and his gradual return to power.

The statue serves as a symbol of the evil that has taken root in Mirkwood, and its presence adds to the atmosphere of danger and foreboding that surrounds Dol Guldur. While the statue itself takes no direct action, its existence is a constant reminder of the dark forces gathering strength in the east, foreshadowing the larger conflicts to come in Middle-earth.
