Grinnah was a Goblin of Goblin Town who worked as an interregator for the Goblin King during the Quest of Erebor.

Biography

Little was known about Grinnah's early life, but was born sometime in the Third Age in Goblin Town and became as an interrogator. Despite his loyalty with the Great Goblin, he secretly despised him.

In TA 2941, when Thorin and Company fell into Goblin-Town, Grinnah, along with a large group of Goblins captured them, took their weapons, and took the Dwarves to their master and of course offended when Balin cried out to their king that his song was an abomination. He told the Great Goblin about the Company's identification and where his group had found them, and was ordered to search their belongings as well as crushing Óin's trumpet in the process. Grinnah during the search was surprised to find Elven objects in Nori's bag and suggested to his king that the Company had been in league with Elves (which were objects that Nori had stolen back in Rivendell).

Whilst the Goblins continued searching and the Great Goblin singing the town's torture song, Grinnah found Orcrist, wondering what sword it was, and when he opened the holster, he screamed and threw the sword aside causing the other Goblins including the Great Goblin to cower over the weapon and attempt to murder the Company. When Gandalf arrived to save the Dwarves, Grinnah fought against Kíli, but the young dwarf impaled him through the stomach.

Personality and traits

Grinnah revealed in every chance he would get to use his whip on the victims of Goblin Town. Although cunning and vicious, he was, like many Goblins, a coward at heart. As well as he was obsequious and fawning, he secretly loathed his master, the Great Goblin even though he payed respect and loyalty to him.

Behind the Scenes

Grinnah was portrayed by Stephen Ure through voice and motion capture in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, who also portrayed as the Orc Fimbul in the same film and The Desolation of Smaug.
