What should we call this being so powerful and mysterious as to be completely unaffected by the one ring?

Tom

How about this really old talking tree guy?

Treebeard!

And the huge volcano mountain that is the source of the evil artifact?

Mount Doom, naturally

About to name my next child Humanbeard
