The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is full of J.R.R. Tolkien Easter eggs. The movie, released in December 2024, is based on"The House of Eorl," a short story in Appendix A of The Lord of the Rings. It does not follow its source material to the letter but does drop intriguing references to the rest of The Lord of the Rings and the wider legendarium.

And yet, none of these beasts appear in the movie's source material, making them Tolkien Easter eggs rather than natural and logical aspects of the adaptation. The Watcher in the Water appears most beguilingly in a lake, bearing very little resemblance to Peter Jackson's version of the beast.

Perhaps even more interesting than Héra is the significantly less sexualized Olwyn, the older shieldmaiden who inspires and guides Héra.
