You might need an "Other" category [In reply to] Can't Post

I've heard other theories about Tom, though you did hit most of the popular ones. One that isn't listed is that he's a nature spirit of an unknown type, separate from the Valar and Maiar. For example, a "Father Nature" type being or an unknown third order of the Ainur.

Of all these, I lean towards the embodiment of Arda option. Though that begs the question why he would be limited (or choose to limit himself) to the Old Forest. Perhaps because it reminds him of the great primeval forests that once spread all across Middle-earth?
