Analogies: LotR STYLE!

I'm guessing everyone knows what analogies are... so this is the game. Write analogies! So long as they have something to do with LotR!
The object is to come up with an analogie, but leave part of it blank for the next person to fill in...

EXAMPLE: The ring of power is to Gollum as _____ is to hobbits

(next person): The ring of power is to Gollum as FOOD is to hobbits because they can't live without it!

Or something like that.... (revisions to the game can be suggested if needed)

OKAY! So the first one is:

Shampoo is to elves as _______ is to men.
