If you're talking about the big fiery one in Moria on the Bridge of Khazad-Dum, that's a Balrog. Balrogs are very old demi-gods, in a sense, of the same order as Gandalf, but much more powerful. The name 'Balrog' is a corruption of the word 'Valaraukar,' meaning "Demon of Power.' There's also a kind of giant octopus or kraken-like creature in the lake on the west side of Moria, called 'The Watcher In The Water'. The Nazgul, or 'Ringwraiths,' ride on a kind of prehistoric pterodactyl-like creature, called by some as 'Fell Beasts'.

Other 'monsters' include giant spiders, trolls, wargs (werewolves), orcs, goblins, and half-orcs.

The major antagonist in the Lord of the Rings is actually the Dark Lord Sauron.

Gollum's magic ring that makes him invisible was lost somewhere in the caves of the Misty Mountains. Bilbo stumbled upon it, put it in his pocket, and that's how it left Gollum's possession and began its new adventures in the War of the Ring.

Fili, Kili, Oin, Gloin, Thorin Oakenshield, Dwalin, Balin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Dori, Nori, and Ori. The two youngest are Fili and Kili. Thorin is royalty.

Thorin dies in the Battle of Five Armies.

Fili and Kili, brothers, are Thorin's sister, Dis' children. Hence they are his nephews. They die beside Thorin in the Battle of Five Armies. Oin and Gloin are brothers, and Gloin also has a very important son, Gimli who plays a crucial role in The Lord of the Rings. Dwalin and Balin are brothers. Balin attempts to retake Moria and is slain by a goblin scout as he gazes into the Mirrormere. Dori, Ori, and Nori are brothers and all survive the book. Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur are the last dwarves. They are relatively minor characters except for Bombur. He has a significant role in the fact that he is so fat and is a special friend to Bilbo. His weight creates several hardships when he has to be carried or lifted by ropes.

Of the THIRTEEN dwarves that set out along with Bilbo Baggins on the Quest of Erebor, three died in the Battle of the Five Armies: Fili, Kili, and Thorin Oakenshield.

The other 10 dwarves were:

Dwalin, Balin, Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur.

In the 1977 animated movie version of The Hobbit, only 6 of the dwarves live. I forget which though. One thing I'm certain of: Fili, Kili, and Thorin die in both the book and the animated movie. However, only Fili, Kili, and Thorin die in the book.

The shire is the home of hobbits. Most of the homes are holes in hills, but these are nice holes, not dark dirty ones. Most of the hobbits that live in the Shire are farmers and have never ventured outside of the Shire, and therefore know nothing about the world outside of their humble dwelling.

'In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole and that means comfort.'

Valinor is the abode of the Valar. It lies in the Blessed Realm of the continent of Aman. The Elves live on an island called Tol Erresea. The island is in sight of the land of the Valar. Men are not allowed to go there.

Bilbo and Frodo are allowed to go there as a gift because they were ringbearers for an extended period of time, and this would keep them living in comfort for the rest of their days. Gimli is also allowed to enter Aman, the first and the last Dwarf to do this, because the Lady Galadriel, the most powerful of the Noldor in Middle-earth, who had a lot of influence even in Valinor, accounted for him.

In some ways it is like a heaven in that gods live there and everyone lives forever, but it was formerly part of the world until it got shifted into a different dimension, which is not usually said of heaven.
