* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: "The Quest of Erebor" in ''[[Unfinished TalesofTales Numenorof andNúmenor Middleearthand (Literature)Middle-earth|Unfinished Talesof Numenor and Middleearth]]'', Gandalf states that part of the reason he pushed Bilbo into joining Thorin and Co. on their expedition was because Smaug knows the scent of Dwarves too well for them to effect a stealth mission, but the dragon would likely not be familiar with the smell of a Hobbit. Smaug, in his ultimate moment of [[Genre Savvy]], bypasses this discrepancy of knowledge by {{spoiler|tracing the origin of Bilbo and the Dwarves to Lake-town and attacking there instead.}}
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]
* [[Draconic Demon]]: Smaug is a huge, greedy, sociopathic red dragon who rests upon a hoard of gold and jewels plundered from Dale and Erebor. He's prideful to a fault, and the smallest insult or instance of theft from his hoard is enough to throw him into a murderous rage.
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: In the cartoon, in which he is voiced by the very intimidating Richard Boone, and now in the Jackson film, by [[Benedict Cumberbatch]].
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: From the description it comes close to [[Eye Beams]]. ''Literally'' [[Eye Beams]] in the animated 1970s movie.

A character sheet in progress for the novel The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien and its upcoming movie adaptation. Film-only tropes should be marked as such.

Many of the characters also appear in The Lord of the Rings, so be sure to check that character sheet out too. And while we're at it, The Silmarillion is set in the same universe as well, the character sheet being here.


The Company

Tropes that they have in common:

Bilbo Baggins

“I am the clue-finder, the web-cutter, the stinging fly. I was chosen for the lucky number.”

See The Lord of the Rings character sheet for tropes that apply to him in that work.

Thorin II Oakenshield

"I am Thorin son of Thráin son of Thrór King under the Mountain! I return!"

Fili

  • Boisterous Bruiser: It's good to be a merry young Dwarf heading for his first grand adventure...
  • Fanon: For some reason many fans believe he and Kili are twins.
  • Hair of Gold
  • Jumped At the Call: In the movie he and his brother are very happy to get to be part of the Company.
  • The Other Marty: Rob Kazinsky was replaced by Dean O'Gorman only after some material was already filmed.
  • Young Gun: In the movie he and Kili are still youngsters who haven't travelled far from home before.
  • Warrior Prince

Kili

Balin

“What have we done, O king? … Is it a crime to be lost in the forest, to be hungry and thirsty, to be trapped by spiders? Are the spiders your tame beasts or your pets, if killing them makes you angry?”

Dwalin

“What is our burglar doing for us? Since he has got an invisible ring, and out to be a specially excellent performer now, I am beginning to think he might go through the Front Gate and spy things out a bit!”

Óin

Glóin

Dori

“I can’t always be carrying burglars on my back, down tunnels and up trees! What do you think I am? A porter?”

Nori

“You’ve left the burglar behind again!”

"Nobody quite knows what Nori gets up to most of the time, except that it’s guaranteed to be dodgy and quite probably, illegal."

Ori

“They are coming.”

Bifur

Bofur

“Get up lazybones, or there will be no breakfast left for you.”

Bombur

“I’m always last and I don’t like it … It’s somebody else’s turn today.”

“My armor is like tenfold shields. My teeth are like swords. My claws, spears. The shock of my tail, a thunderbolt. My wings, a hurricane. And my breath, death.”

"I laid low the warriors of old and their like is not in the world today. Then I was but young and tender. Now I am old and strong, strong, strong, Thief in the Shadows!"
