Ohhh - help!
Non-Tolkein friend just asked me who the guys on the elephants were (like their actual name - not just - "bad guys" which is what I said at first) and I can't remember...anybody?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
It's the same as the theatrical.
