Dáin's boar The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
Dáin’s Boar first appeared in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. The Dwarven lord Dáin Ironfoot arrives at the Lonely Mountain astride his boar.
In adaptations[]
Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies[]
When Dáin arrives at the Lonely Mountain for battle, the boar accompanies its master throughout the ordeal at the Gates of Erebor. It is later seen assisting Dáin in battle against the Orcs. It is killed when an Orcish spear pierces its heart, as his master was dueling two other Orcs. Dáin can then only continue the battle on foot. Later, Dáin uses his war hammer to smash the Orc who killed his boar.
Trivia[]
- It died along with Thranduil's elk, signifying the loyalty of the animals and the closer relationship between Dwarves and Elves.
