A dwarf was traditionally considered an adult once he or she reached age fifty. Hazel eyes were common throughout the race, with blue eyes more common amongst shield dwarves and brown or green eyes found amongst the gold dwarves.ĭwarves were a long-lived race, and reached physical maturity somewhat later than humans. Like humans, dwarves had a wide variety of skin, eye, and hair colors, typically pale. Dwarven males were a bit taller and heavier than their female counterparts. What Dwarves lacked in height they made up for in bulk they were, on average, about as heavy as humans A dwarf could weigh anywhere from about 160 – 220 lbs (73 – 100 kg). I kid you not Tolkien was the biggest asshole to poor Bombur and milked him as the fat archetype even in that book.ĭwarves, sometimes called the Stout Folk, were a tough, tradition-abiding folk known for their strong martial traditions and beautiful craftsmanship.ĭwarves were a short race, as their name implied, standing from 4'3" – 4'9" on average. Bifur is 4.5” and would bet in the range of 190lbs, Bofur is 4.8” and I would guess a slightly chubby 180lbs, Bombur is 4.5, and I would guess a fat 245-260 in the films, although I would put him up to 350 in LOTR books because by them he is immobile. The Morian Dwarve cousins, Bifur, Bofur and Bombur, are even shorter and stockier than the royal line. Thorin although further up the scale as far as being the muscular warrior type, is still very lean VS Dwalin who is massively built like a Biker Bouncer, seriously wouldn't want to be on his bad side! (although wouldn't mind him helping with the round bales.) Fili is shorter and more of the standard stocky frame. Granted the brothers are barely out of their lanky teen years by dwarf standards. Kili looks half-starved in the promotional pictures. The entire line of Durin as depicted in the films are lean Dwarves. This leads to the conclusion that though a Dwarf is more 'dense' than a comparable height human, their body weight is not equal to an average size human male.īased on these factors and the evidence above, and subject to further information or disclosure, it can reasonably be concluded that the average healthy adult Dwarf male weighs in at approximately 150 pounds.Įxample wise: taking a decent cross-section: Their combined weight was less than if either had doubled up with Aragorn on Hasufel. The final factor to consider is that Legolas and Gimli doubled-up while riding Arod in their search for Merry and Pippin.

And factoring in that a Dwarf frame and musculature is likely more dense than a human so we can add back that body mass plus a bit more. Therefore they are stone-hard, stubborn, fast in friendship and in enmity, and they suffer toil and hunger and hurt of body more hardily than all other speaking peoples and they live long, far beyond the span of Men, yet not forever." ― The Silmarillion, "Of Aulë and Yavanna"Ĭonsidering that a human world class Olympic level power-lifter standing 5' tall (the upper limit of Dwarf height) weighs in at about 140 pounds and that someone 6" shorter (comparable to average Dwarf height) would be comparatively lighter. "Since they were to come in the days of the power of Melkor, Aulë made the dwarves strong to endure. The Dwarves rebuilt the stronghold to their liking.Using a very powerfully built 5' tall adult human male and the following description from the Silmarillion, we can arrive at a reasonable guestimate of the body weight of the average healthy adult Dwarf male. Abandoned when the Elves of Edhellion abandoned their former refuge for Duillond, after Skorgrim Dourhand's treacherous assault.
"The fortress of Gondamon was once an Elven fortress. "The way-station of Noglond serves as a provisioners outpost and resting place for merchants and weary travellers." The discovery of ancient Elf-ruins and a troll prompted Thorin and Gandalf the Grey to seal it off." "The Silver Deep is a hall that was abandoned long ago before it was completed. "Thrain, Thorin's father, named the gates of these halls after his eldest son, Thorin Oakensheild, long before the city itself was known as Thorin's Hall." It leads to the entrance of Thorin's Hall to the North." "This courtyard was named after the brother of the great Thorin Oakensheild.
