The horns suggest that this could even be a version of a balrog, which were also associated with Melkor. Ogres are briefly depicted in the Hobbit films very differently, as gray-skinned humanoids, but this could again be attributed to the trailer's monster being a more primitive version. Based on the size of the creature relative to the human it is chasing, ogres would seem to be the most likely candidate. These include Nauglath, or "wicked dwarves", giants, and ogres. These creatures are collectively known as the Uvanimor, or monster-folk. The villainous Melkor also created a number of other monsters that the creature in the trailer could be. It's possible that this creature could be an earlier version of the trolls before they fell under the influence of Sauron, or one that has suffered its own dark mutations as the result of Melkor's influence. In Tolkien's Lord of the Rings backstory, trolls were created by Melkor before the First Age, meaning that they would be in existence during the time of The Rings of Power. The monster included in the trailer most closely resembles a cave troll, but has some visible differences-most notably a large pair of horns and what appears to be a second mouth.

The creature is not clearly identifiable as something from past Middle Earth films, meaning that it could be a new addition to the formidable bestiary of J. Among several other images of Middle Earth, the trailer includes a cloaked figure fleeing from a large monster.
