Bolg

"Swiftly he returned, and his wrath was redoubled, so that nothing could withstand him, and no weapon seemed to bite upon him. He scattered the bodyguard, and pulled down Bolg himself and crushed him."

Bolg (d. TA 2941) was a Goblin-king of the Misty Mountains in late Third Age.

History
Bolg was the son of Azog of Moria who succeeded his father as Goblin-king after his death in the Battle of Azanulbizar the last battle of the War of the Dwarves and Orcs in TA 2799. He apparently ruled the goblins and orcs of Misty Mountains from their capital at Mount Gundabad during the Battle of the Five Armies and was the second antagonist in The Hobbit- the first being Smaug the dragon. He then resettled in the old refuge of Mount Gundabad.

Bolg ruled the northern orcs for about 150 years and led the army of goblins, Wargs, and Bats in the Battle of the Five Armies, in which he took his bodyguards with him. In that battle his head was crushed by the mighty Beorn after becoming enraged by the wounding of Thorin.

Films
Bolg will be in The Hobbit (film) played by Conan Stevens.
