* [[Boss in Mook Clothing]]: Many of them, most of which are [[Elite Mook]]s or [[King Mook]]s. However, some of them roam around much weaker mobs, forcing many players to have to try and avoid them.

** The first example you'll probably face would be Baugarch, a level 15 elite warg in an area populated by level 8-11 Mooks which have 150-200 or so health each. As for Baugarch himself - it has over 1500 morale!

* [[Bow and Sword In Accord]]: Almost all classes get a ranged ability of some sort; the melee class Champions and Guardians can equip bows upon getting high enough in level. Wardens on the other hand have javelins. While Captains don't get a ranged weapon, they can call Archer Heralds. The notable exception to this is the burglar who gets no ranged attacks or weapons (except for the ability to stun opponents), outside of throwing knives or rocks if he is a hobbit.

** One early questline in the Shire deals with a hobbit who's gone missing. Turns out, he had hid himself on a pipe-weed wagon {{spoiler|belonging to a group of brigands working for "Sharkey". The wagon actually went all the way south to Isengard, before returning to the Shire with the hobbit still on it}}. About 30 levels later, players questing in the Trollshaws will, on the road leading south, stumble upon a barrel - full of pipe-weed!

* [[Cast From Hit Points]]: The Lore-master's more powerful offensive skills cost [[Call a Hit Point a Smeerp|morale]] as well as power to use, and they also have skills that transfer morale or power from themselves to other friendlies.

* [[Chainmail Bikini]]: Averted. Outfits do not change design depending on a gender of a character, although some tops do mysteriously gain a lower cut for female characters. You don't even get to see alot of [[Sexy Backless Outfit|back]] and there's no [[Bare Your Midriff|midriff exposure]] at all. The most female exposure that you see that commonly turn males (and maybe females) on is exposure of the top part of the breast and some cleavage, which isn't even bad or as explicit as some other things you would most likely see in a lot of other games.

* [[Wake Up Call Boss]]: For many players it's the [[Mook Maker|Barrow Wight Caller]], first boss of The Great Barrow: The Maze instance. This guy can wipe out an entire party with ease, due to the fact that he summons four Giant Barrow-crawlers that spit out AOE poison clouds that cause massive damage over time.
