@NellJSmith : Your reply to ZQMBGN doesn't really demonstrate that Bombadil isn't a Maia ... it just says it's an unresolved mystery. Also, your statement that the Valar were affected by the Rings of Power doesn't quite make sense to me since, as far as I know, they never had any interactions with the rings whatsoever. I think the theory that he is a very old, powerful Maia is as plausible as any. (Also, I've not seen anything to suggest he'll be in "The Hobbit" movies.)

I've got no clue of this I just quessed and probably it's wrong (and we will never know cause Tolkien didn't mentioned himself what race tom bombadil was from so it will remain as a mystery to us) can Tom Bombadil be from the race of Beorn? anyone?

First time I read the Lord of the Rings some 30 years ago and I finished the book, I thought, so who the hell was that Tom Bombadil? He just didn't fit. So then I read the Hobbit and still no clues. Then I read the Finished Tales and still nothing. Finally the Silmarillion, which I had to read like 3 times! Anyway, the last gave to indication. I always tended to believe he is a maia who just likes to hang in Middle Earth. Cool song, btw...

well, i don#t know for sure, but the maia who fought at the end of the first age against morgoth might have taken the shape of elves.
sauron had the ability to look like one i think and did so during the days the rings were forged and i think when he went to numenor.
but i don't think the valar lookied like elves, rater like nothing else does.

@OropherThranduil didnt the maia take shape as elves? havent read silmarillion in a very long time so im quite uncertain bout' everything, but im quite certain some form of "gods" took shapes as elves and descended from haven never to return, just at the point when the world was created, 100%! yes, ur post is 6 months old =)

@TheMobSpawner It wasn't certain whether or not he had power beyond his lands because he refused to leave it. He was definitely a being of tremendous power, however, it was stated by Galdor at the Council of Elrond that Tom Bombadil himself wouldn't withstand a siege by Sauron "unless such power is in the earth itself", implying that he is the manifestation (or spirit) of Middle-Earth itself. This is also in line with the fact that he was considered by Gandalf as the eldest being in existence.
