Bandobras Took

Bandobras Took, also known as Bullroarer was a character of the Silmarillion.
== Biography ==
Bandobras is a hobbit from the Shire. He was one of the famous hobbits in the Shire. He was known for his tall (by hobbit standards) stature. For a long time he was considered the tallest hobbit in the history of the Shire (if not Middle-earth itself), until Merry and Pippin one day managed to break this record. He was also known for being one of the few among the hobbits (if not the only hobbit in principle (at that time, at least)) who knew how to ride a horse. Also, when the Shire was once attacked by goblins, he managed to cut off the head of their commander with his club. Moreover, he hit him so hard that the goblin’s head flew very far away. Thus the battle was won and the game of golf was invented. He has not yet appeared even once in Peter Jackson's films. It is only mentioned a couple of times. For example, when Merry and Pippin are quarreling over who is taller in The Lord of the Rings, one of them mentions that "the tallest hobbit was Bullroarer," meaning Bandobras. Also, in the Hobbit films, Gandalf reminds Bilbo that Bandobras was his ancestor. A portrait of Bandobras hangs on Bilbo's wall.
