Curb-Stomp Battle: Defending Erebor against Smaug.

Died in the dungeons of Dol Guldur, but not before encountering Gandalf and giving him the map and key needed to get into Erebor. 'Azog means to kill us all! One by one, he will destroy the line of Durin! But by my life, he shall not take my son! You will stay here!'įather of Thorin and previous King of Durin's Folk.

Weapon of Choice: Most Dwarves wield an axe as this.Even the typical Dwarf is good with stonework and metal-shaping, and their real craftsmen exceed the skills of Men and all but the greatest, most experienced Elf-smiths. Ultimate Blacksmith: In their backstory, they were designed by the Vala of earth, metal, and crafts, because he wanted students who loved craft-work just as much as he did.Most prominently are elements like them having lost their ancestral homeland, and are trying to integrate into human society, while still trying to hold on to their old language and culture. Space Jews: Tolkien, being interested in Jewish culture and history, admitted that at least some of the elements of the Dwarves and their history where inspired by the Jewish people.According to the books, they usually live to be 250 years old. Really 700 Years Old: Although not as long-lived as the Elves, they still live for hundreds of years.Proud Warrior Race: By the time of The Lord of the Rings, the Dwarven people have been warring with the orcs for a long, long time.That's not to say they won't back out from a fight if pushed, though. Even Dáin gets in on it with his surprisingly foul mouth. Whereas Gimli is the sole Dwarf who gradually fell into this trope in the original, the Dwarves in Thorin's Company all have strange quirks that make them unique. Plucky Comic Relief: All principle Dwarves (except Thorin and Balin) are prone to this in some ways through both of the trilogies.

Glóin, the most stereotypical of the dwarves, is the father of Gimli, who is arguably the modern day codifier of the trope. They also have accents that range throughout Britain, from Scotland to Ireland and Wales. Particularly notable are Thorin, Fíli, and Kíli, who all benefit from varying degrees of Adaptational Attractiveness, with Kíli's Perma-Stubble practically making him a Bishōnen by dwarf standards. In the films, the dwarves are all short, hairy, and crusty, but they have great variety in their faces, beards, clothing, body types, personalities and weaponry. Gimli at one point plays with this where he tells Éowyn stories of his entire race being this trope, which he thinks is utterly ridiculous.

One-Gender Race: Subverted in The Hobbit, where in the prologue, the dwarven women of Erebor are depicted as noticeably more feminine.Averted in The Hobbit, where other weapons are just as prominent. To cite the most evident example, Sauron's One Ring utterly enslaved the wearers of the Nine (and supposedly would have done so for the Three as well): the seven dwarf-kings wearing the Rings of the Dwarves were pulled toward The Dark Side to some extent, but retained their own wills. Heroic Willpower: Race-wide (and justified in the story of their creation).Fighting for a Homeland: Erebor in The Hobbit, Khazad-dûm in the Backstory to The Lord of the Rings.It's implied that they become extinct some time in the Fourth Age. The constant warfare after the fall of Khazad-dûm didn't help. Dying Race: Dwarves have an abysmally low birth rate due to men outnumbering women three to one, and the women's frequent unwillingness to take a husband.
