Who is your favorite dwarf from Tolkien's works? Durin – the shadow looming over all dwarves (assuming a dwarf is tall enough to have a looming shadow) Azaghâl – guy stabbed Glaurung in the belly Thorin – King Under the Mountain…for a moment
Balin – tried to retake Moria
Dwalin
Bifur
Bofur
Bombur – possibly fatter than Smaug
Dori – I played him in our high school musical of The Hobbit
Ori
Nori – contrary to the name, not made of seaweed!
Fili
Kili
Oin
Gloin
Gimli – only dwarf to go into the West Dain Ironfoot – handy with an axe and knew the limits of Dwarf power Someone else? |

Dain rocks!! But I do have a soft spot for Balin for dreaming the impossible dream… |

Gimli… what's not to love about dwarves with elf fever? |

what's not to love about dwarves with elf fever? Once you go Noldor, all others seem colder. |

Dwarfs are not even second fiddle in Tolkien It's elves this, and elves that. And I hated them ( insert Elves for Irish in this wonderful Belushi sketch)

that being said
I really liked Thorin (dying gloriously) & Balin ( Moria suicide run) Dain was pretty cool in the back of the red book. For some reason I named my D&D character Kili. and then I found out he and his brother croaked at the battle of 5 armies. I was miffed. :) |

I was never able to tell them apart… so I'll just say Thorin. |

Thorin oakenshield Because I played the part in the Tom Bean Tx. Jr. High Production of The Hobbit in 1980.
It was my finest moment. Mongo |

Gimli. Barak khazad! Khazad a menu! |
| Landorl | 04 Apr 2012 5:41 p.m. PST |
Balin or Dain. I liked Balin for being bold enough to try the impossible. I liked Dain because he lead the Lonely Mountain from the desolation of Smaug back to a point of power. He also was pretty cool in the appendix to the LoTR. |

Gimli! Once more, Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mênu! I have to agree with Quadratas – Tolkien spends too much time jawing about girly elves! |

Azaghal. I mmean anyone who dresses from head to foot in iron just to have a chance to beat on the ultimate WMD, has to be cool. |

Thorin. Rather a tragic character. |
| Huscarle | 05 Apr 2012 11:56 a.m. PST |
Probably Thorin Oakenshield, a flawed hero. |
| Porkmann | 05 Apr 2012 12:17 p.m. PST |
Bridgit the Midget. She is everyone's favourite little-person. |

Said before, Gimli but only since the movies came out, before that they were just one of the other races. Always thought of myself as a Elf fan. Did get a Dwarf figure (first in 30 years) a year ago but haven't painted it yet. |
