      Would it also make the leash invisible, because it’s attached to the chicken? If so, would it also make Frodo invisible because he is holding the leash?

        That’s a good question, but I don’t remember Bilbo having to strip naked after putting it on so he wouldn’t appear as a self-animated set of clothes floating around

    This sounds like a clip from a LOTR × Ghostbusters crossover. They try using a trap but the One Ring upgrades the trap to catch almost any spirit or demon, including Balrogs, tempting the Ghostbusters to use it to capture Sauron, which, of course, is pure folly.

    why dont they render the ring unusable by putting it on a larger metal ring

    put the larger ring on gollum as a fancy bdsm slave collar and throw the whole happy and docile sub gollum off an eagle into mount doom

    edit: how to put the ring over gollums head? idk weld it together once he wears it

          So there you are, an orc in mordor, on guard duty while sauron makes the rest of the army. It’s pretty great being on guard duty, nobody bothers you and you’ve just caught a rabbit that you’re now roasting on a small fire.

          In the horizon a weird dude with a beard and a grey cape appears, he has several smaller humanoids with him … and a trebuchet.

          The trebuchet is launched and a small dude is flung above you. The projectile/dude is manically trying to open the box that he’s apparently wearing as a hat?!?

          You turn the rabbit, and when you look up again the guy has opened the box… Where did he go? You follow his path, and suddenly, next to the entrance to some random cave, you notice what could be the result of a small dude, with a metal box for a hat, hitting the side of the mountain. The sound hits your ears 2 seconds later. It’s like both a thud, a clang, and a squish all at once.

          Even at this distance you can see something in the mess. Something shiny that you for some reason just know isn’t part of the box. You set off for the impact site.

          What do you do now? If you want to investigate goto page 56 and if you want to alert the chain of command go to page 182.

    how could it work?

    whoever carries the chicken will be tempted by the ring and will likely kill the chicken in a fit of weakness

      Yeah, Boromir was tempted by the ring just by proximity. Nevermind, how a person plans to make a chicken cooperate with heading into a blasted hellscape and up a volcano.

      If that’s the “plan”, the smarter version is to just drag it in a bag behind you.

    Do it Canadian style, with a Cobra Chicken.

    There wouldn’t be anything else alive after that for sure.
