He wears it over a gauntlet. You gotta assume some times he takes the gauntlet off.

So what are you going to do, have a huge gauntlet ring that's too big on your bare finger?

You newbs. You dweebs. You unimaginative non-attention-paying dorks.

It is the trajectory of every lich worth his salt to become a demilich, which is basically just a floating skull, at which point the ring becomes a headband

Sauron evolved via a chain of story edits from Morgoth's pet cat, and Tolkien was big on negative cat stereotypes. Obviously he didn't swim.

MR. DOG WITH BEES IN HIS MOUTH AND WHEN HE BARKS HE SHOOTS BEES AT YOU
by Roger Hargreaves

Just to add another reason the eagles wouldn't have worked that no ones mentioned but is pretty loving important and that's, that the plan was primarily a stealth mission. It all relied on the fact that Sauron didn't even conceive of the idea that anyone would try destroy the ring.

If he found out that was the plan then Mt Doom would be on permanent lockdown 100% of the time. He sure as poo poo wouldn't be falling for the old "just empty Mordor and come get me bro" trick Aragon pulls on him to clear the way for Frodo.

It's why Gandalf shits the bed when Pippin looks into the Palantir because he thinks he might have given the game away.

How did I even get here, son?!
Pretty sure that the reason they got hobbits to carry the ring is that they're all so mindnumbingly stupid that the ring has no effect. Everybody else with a couple brain cells to rub together is either trying to get at it or desperately trying to not touch it. Pippin and Merry were just too dumb even for hobbits to take it or really just travel without getting themselves killed

Gollum was a hobbit who wore/carried the ring for long periods and well, became Gollum

Yeah, when Samwise is tempted he's tempted by the idea of having a super awesome garden and then overcomes said temptation by going "but I can have that already."

The events of Lord of the Rings canonically take place in our world around 6000 years ago. We also know that the maiar, of whom Sauron is perhaps the best known aside only from Gandalf, can see the future to some extent. So it is not only entirely possible that Sauron watched anime, but actually, I would contend, quite likely. In this essay I will discuss-

well yeah exactly. boromir saw the ring from a distance for like thirty seconds and immediately started scheming to use it to take over middle-earth. smeagol had the ring in his possession for centuries and all he did was talk about how pretty it was.

Being a Hobbit originally Gollum was inclined to simpler pleasures. His mind didn't have the space for grand schemes. Humans, however, are the real virus, and

All hobbits want is to be left alone, and thus, when they put it on they go invisible. They don't give a poo poo about plots and plans, only pots and pans (sorry).

Maybe Sauron saw the future and was just trying to protect the world from Men? He would have seen all the races that would die off or "leave" in the relatively near future: elves, dwarfs, hobbits, giant eagles, ents, trolls, etc. All gone, with only Men left standing. Men go on to eradicate thousands more species, whether sapient or animal. And all that's just a warm up before we even develop explosives, chemical weapons, biological weapons, nukes, and go on to carelessly roast and poison the planet and potentially render it uninhabitable for Men ourselves.

Ironically his attempts to stop the scourge of Man from over running the world ended up turning Mordor into a copy of the blighted future he was trying to prevent. :shrug:

Or maybe he just a dick.

If the ring makes people invisible but Sauron’s armor is visible while wearing it, that implies he made special armor that is immune to the effects of the ring therefore, he made anti-invisibility armor to go with his invisibility ring.
