These Wild Men?
Adam

Look just one question about The Two Towers. I've seen a picture from the movie that shows some shabby, poorly armed men looking alot like
primitive man, who are the Woses or Wild Men who live in the Druadan Forest.

They are shown being stirred up by Saruman ready to go on a rampage against the Rohorrim just before the Battle of the Hornburg. These guys therefore should be the Wild Men of Dunland. Men armed with "tall helms and sable shields", men who should look like our traditional warrior.

And the Woses as they appear in the picture with Saruman should be shown later on in The Return of the King helping the Rohorrim find a passageway to come to the aid of Gondor during the Battle of Pellenor Fields. Please tell me I'm mistaken.
