Why didn't the Graboids tunnel the ring under Mt. Doom?

Graboids aren't in the LOTR universe.

Why didn't Gandolf lend Frodo his big birds to fly him over Mt. Doom so he can toss the ring inot the fire??sinistergoggles

I had that exact same question too.

Best Tremors reference ever. 

For the people who don't know, "graboids" are the big worms from "Tremors". :|tomxizor

I had that exact same question too.

Because it would only take one orc with a bow and arrow and good aim to kill the bird and have the ring returned to Sauron, which would be very very bad.  And since there were millions of orcs, the good aim part wouldn't even be necessary.  The bird thing wouldn't have worked.

arrows can only go so high there buddy.

I was trying to remeber what the hell were the graboids, and then though "But, the graboids were from trimmers."  So, I almost had an aneurysm, thanks OP.

Gandolf would be there to protect Frodo and his birds.
