Also known as: Goblin-Cleaver, Biter
The Goblin-cleaver, mate to Glamdring, forged in Gondolin for the goblin-wars and taken by Thorin Oakenshield from the trolls' hoard. The goblins of the Misty Mountains knew it on sight and called it Biter, and hated its bearer the more for carrying it. Thranduil took it from Thorin in Mirkwood but laid it on his tomb under the Mountain after the Battle of Five Armies, where it is said to gleam in the dark if foes approach, so that the fortress of the Dwarves cannot be taken by surprise.
