But the Black Captain established a camp at Andrath, where the Greenway passed in a defile between the Barrow-downs and the South Downs; and from there some others were sent to watch and patrol the eastern borders, while he himself visited the Barrow-downs. In notes of the movements of the Black Riders at that time it is said that the Black Captain stayed there for some days, and the Barrow-wights were roused, and all things of evil spirit, hostile to Elves and Men, were on the watch with malice in the Old Forest and on the Barrow-downs.

Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus)
The Asian Elephant is without question my favorite animal. It's not the biggest or most imposing of elephant species, but it is to my taste the most elegant, with an almost mythical grace. And it hails from what I consider it the most interesting and beautiful eco-regions in the world.
"The Eye"
2020
The Eye: that horrible sense of a hostile will that strove with great power to pierce all shadows of cloud, and earth, and flesh, and to see you: to pin you under its deadly gaze, naked, immovable.
-"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", by J.R.R. Tolkien
One of my favorite concepts or design ideas introduced in the Hobbit Trilogy was having the actual silhouette of Sauron appear as the pupil of the Red Eye.
I tried that idea here but with the original design for the Eye from the LotR Trilogy.
