## Summary

##### The Hobbit (film trilogy)

###### An Unexpected Journey

During the summer of TA 2941, the Great Goblin's men kidnapped Thorin and his company, but only Bilbo managed to evade capture. He at first sung a terrible song that the Dwarves didn't like but was literally music to the Goblins' ears. Secretly, no one, not even his own followers liked the Great-Goblin. He threatened to have Ori tortured until Thorin shows up and revealed his identity. The goblin taunted Thorin as he did not have a mountain (which was a lie considering he owned the Blue Mountains as well. He ordered for Thorin's head to be cut off by the Goblins until a blast of Energy hit them. The Goblin almost kills Nori, but Thorin comes to his ally's aid by knocking his enemy off with Orcrist. The Goblin proves to be alive as he attacks Thorin and his remaining Company. Gandalf manages to sleigh the Goblin, causing the bridges to snap.

His legacy was not a very good one. After he was killed by Gandalf, he toppled on top of Thorin's company after Bofur jinxed themselves. The goblins swore vengeance for their king's death eventually joining Azog's armies for their revenge.

## Personality

The Great Goblin was cruel, wicked, strange, and repulsive. No one, not even his Goblin warrior, Grinnah, liked him. He even seems to take pleasure in watching any species suffer, including his own.

The Great Goblin was also shown to be a rather selfish king who didnt care about anyone, but himself. Shown when he uses his minions as foot massage and steps on them to get on and off his throne, likely killing most of them in the process.

He was also rather greedy. All he wanted was to get money for Thorin's head.

He was also very gluttonous and probably didn't share much of his food with his people since he was very fat and obese, but the minions were very skinny.

Despite his tall stature he was rather cowardly, probably because he wasnt a good fighter. He was too obese to be quick and he wasnt strong enough to hold his own, even against opponents who were way smaller than him. His cowardice is shown by how he cowered when he saw Thorin's sword while yelling at his minions to kill Thorin and Company while sitting on his throne. He also didn't step in when Thorin and Company were freed until after he was sure Thorin wasn't paying attention to him. This also shows how selfish he was. Not caring if all his people died as long as he would survive.

Due to his status as King of the Goblins he was very lazy and didn't move much, making his people do most of the work for him while he was sitting on his throne eating large quantities of food. This is what led him to becoming so fat and flabby.

## Physical Appearance

The Great-Goblin was repulsive. He had a very long chin and few white hairs left. His eyes were hazel. He wore a crown made out of bones. Due to him eating large quantities of food and being a King who didn't move around much, he got extremely obese and got a big stomach. He also had many scars and burnmarks.

## Equipment

**Staff:**  the Goblin King owned a staff. It was made out of bones and even had a goat's head on it.
