Biter- This sword, also called Orcrist or Goblin-Cleaver. Thorin took this sword from the troll's cave. This sword killed hundreds of goblins in the past and the goblins hate the sword as well as its carrier. This sword was lost to the wood-elves when the dwarves were captured.



Beater- This sword is also called Glamdring the Foe-hammer. The goblins hate this even worse than Biter. This sword that Gandalf used to kill the Great Goblin.

Bilbo's Dagger (Sting) - This dagger was also made by elves and used in the Goblin Wars. This dagger glows whenever "evil" is around because it was used in this way. Whenever a goblin is near, the dagger lights up. Bilbo decided to name his sword "sting" after his battle with the giant spider in Mirkwood. Bilbo is the only one of the company left with a weapon after Lake-Town because he left his dagger hidden when the Lake-Men collected the company's weapons. This is one of the things that gives Bilbo confidense throughout their adventure.



﻿The ring- This ring can turn people invisible. But this ring is also one of the evil weapons because it brings out peoples' worst qualities. Bilbo found it in the goblin tunnels after it was dropped by Gollum. Bilbo did not want to tell anyone about the ring. Bilbo eventually told the dwarves about his magical ring.



﻿Gandalf's staff- His staff is a wizard's staff. It is a magical tool that is used to save himself and his companions many of times already. It had shot out lightning that killed some goblins and he had also used it to get out of risky situations so he could come back and rescue the rest of the creatures later.



Elven Long Bows- They were used by the wood-elves in Mirkwood. These bows can shoot great distances easily. The wood-elves are skilled masters of these bows and arrows.



Smaug's tools-Thorin took a silver axe crusted with scarlet stones. He also has a coat of gold-plated rings. Bilbo had taken a small coat of mail with a belt of pearls and crystals. He also took a helm (helmet) with white gems around the brim. Many other weapons and armour was taken by the other dwarves and they were prepared for any other creature they may have to encounter.



Smaug's Fire and Hypnosis-Smaug is a dragon who guards the mountian's treasure. He can breathe fire and hypnotize people. When Bilbo was in the cave, Smaug talks to him in riddles to try and get information out of him. He had fouund out that Bilbo came from Lake-town and the poeple there had helped him.



Black Arrow-Bard used his bow to shoot this great arrow to kill Smaug. This arrow belonged to Girion the Lord of Dale. It was passed down throughout his family and he used it only as a last resort. He said he had always recovered the arrow. This last time he used it, it killed the beast that had been tormenting the town for centuries.
