Trivia: What character lured “Lord of the Rings” villain Sauron to the dark side?
Gandalf
Morgoth
Smaug
Saruman
The correct answer is Morgoth
So why is this answer correct? : Sauron is the baddest of bad guys in the “Lord of the Rings” stories, but he wasn’t always bad. He previously was known as Mairon, who, along with Gandalf, was a Maiar and one of the most powerful forces in the universe. Unfortunately for all the hobbits and elves, Mairon eventually breaks bad and is drawn to Morgoth, the most powerful of Tolkien’s dark lord characters. Morgoth is the main antagonist of Tolkien’s “The Silmarillion” (1977), where Sauron becomes his right-hand evil being.
