* GroinAttack: Although technically Gunglip actually kicked Naikamil in her belly, this proved just as effective, since Dragons in the Tolkien legendarium have very soft, sensitive underbellies, and a kick from an Ogre wearing full body armor would ''probably'' be enough to make a cold-drake stagger and fall over in pain, even for a brief moment.
** Also played straight in an earlier chapter, when a Gong finds himself on the receiving end of a rather painful collision with an Elf's staff.

* TranslationConvention: Ungoliant's minions speak three languages: Renorin (the CommonTongue of the inhabitants of Mórenorë), Gongon (the language of the Gongs), and a third (currently unidentified) language when communicating with each other. The latter is the one that is translated to English for the audience's sake, since it is the language that is the most univerally used.
