Grond (Warhammer)

In the First Age, Grond was the great warhammer of Morgoth Bauglír, the first Dark Lord, who wielded it when he fought with Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor. With every blow from the hammer that struck the ground, a crater was formed. Morgoth managed to kill the High King, but not without being wounded seven himself, for he had poured much of his power into Arda, and so was less powerful than he once was and so took longer to kill Fingolfin than he would have.
