175: Can all Maiar shape shift? How do Elves actually choose to be human? Community Questions Answered
Q: Do you think Elrond did a mistake in not killing Isildur in Mount Doom?
There were no good choices for Elrond in that situation; any action could have led to dire consequences.
175: Can all Maiar shape shift? How do Elves actually choose to be human? Community Questions Answered

175: Can all Maiar shape shift? How do Elves actually choose to be human? Community Questions Answered
Q: Is there a creature that the good Maiar, like Gandalf, can turn into?
There are forms that the Maiar can take, but they are bound by their choices.
170: The Hobbit 43: The Return of the (Dwarven) King
Q: Why, if Sauron could regenerate after being defeated previously, would he not be able to do that after the Ring is destroyed?
Sauron's power was significantly tied to the ring, and he lost a part of himself when he imbued it with his power. After the Ring was destroyed, he could not fully regenerate as he was reduced to a lesser state.
161: The Hobbit 34: The Dangers of Dreaming
Q: How does Bombur represent the dangers of dreaming?
His magical sleep signifies the seductive appeal of fantasy that can cause one to lose touch with reality.
