Sauron lives

 


Sauron, the Dark Lord of Middle Earth, who lived in the tower of Barad-dûr in the land of Mordor (all of which is in the Lord of the Rings), was pretty much dispensed with by the end of that book, but you'll have to read it find out how, if you don't know.'

But Sauron isn't all gone -- there's a butterfly named after him.


New Butterflies Are Named for Sauron, ‘Lord of the Rings’ Villain

"A new genus of butterfly, with dark, eye-like spots on its distinctive orange wings, has been named after Sauron, the arch-villain of J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings, whose gaze lingers malevolently over the lands of Middle-earth."

Meet the butterfly:
