In adaptations[]
The Hobbit film trilogy[]
Dís in The Lord of the Rings Online
- In The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, Dís is mentioned by Kíli after he has been captured by Wood-elves, and is being kept prisoner in a cell. He talks about her to Tauriel, one of the elves, and explains that a Dwarf-runed talisman he was holding is meant to remind him of the promise he made to his mother to return.
- In The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, when Fíli, Kíli, Oin and Bofur arrive in the Lonely Mountain following Smaug's demise, Thorin welcomes Fíli and Kíli as his sister-sons.
- In The Lord of the Rings Online, Dís, although very old, is still alive during the War of the Ring. She holds the honorary position of the Keeper of Ravenhill, where she tends to ravens now led by Arcah, Daughter of Croär. After the Battle of Dale she and the surviving companions of Thorin II pay respect to tombs of her brother and sons, which are now next to that of King Dain II.
