Habits of the Hobbit DWARVES Dwarves are probably the most hostile species in the Hobbit “besides orcs.” There are not too many dwarves in Middle Earth. They are actually pretty endangered. The reason is because of when Smag the dragon burnt down almost the whole dwarf kingdom. In the company some of the dwarf brothers are, Dori is the oldest of Nori and Ori (his brothers). Nori usually gets in lots of fights with his brothers, Ori and Dori, but Nori will protect them with whatever he can. Dori spends most of his time watching out for Ori because he gets himself in trouble or hurt most of the time. Just like Dori, Nori, and Ori Bombur has 3 brothers and has a large appetite and gets in trouble a lot. Bombur is rather chubby, but surprisingly he is a good fighter. Bifur has a big scar on his forehead from a orc axe in battle. The dwarves in the company really hate the orc chieftain Azog (white orc with one hand missing!) one of the orc men caused Bifur’s scar. Dain Ironfoot is the leader of the dwarves of the Iron Hills and is a third cousin of Thorin Oakenshield, at the seven dwarfs of the company hate Dwalin. Dwalin is a fierce and great warrior but the bad thing is that he will distrust anyone that is not a dwarf. Dori probably is the strongest dwarf in the company. Fili is a very skilled fighter. Kili is a very excellent archer that was trained at a very early age. Kili is one of the youngest dwarves in the company. Kili loves to have fun but nothing can break his spirit. Kili’s brother never traveled that far. Nori is probably the most elusive dwarf in the company. He used to do lots and lots of illegal stuff. Dori wants to get jobs done so much he will risk a life and a limb to get it done. Ori (Doris Brother) is very talented in art and writes all about the journey. Thorin the leader of the dwarves and use to be a young prince until his father died. In Middle Earth there are many species, there is a lot more organisms than dwarves, Elves, humans, and Hobbits. The organisms are goblins, gigantic eagles, wizards, and Orcs. A fan, Carl Anderson said his favorite character is, “Thorin Oakenshield, because his character shared the complexity of leadership and personal emotions. He displayed both courage and leadership while also displaying stubbornness and obsession with greed.”. Well this is Anderson's opinion, but you can make up your own opinion. – 17 –
