Grond

Item from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

A hundred-foot battering ram with a wolf's head of black iron — named after Morgoth's war-hammer, swung by trolls, built for one purpose: to break what has never been broken.

Also known as: Grond, the Wolf's Head, the Hammer of the Underworld

What They Know

• Grond broke the Great Gate of Minas Tirith — the first and only time it was ever breached
• The ram is enchanted with spells of ruin — it is as much a magical weapon as a physical one
• Operated by mountain trolls in chains — the ram is too massive for any other creatures to swing
• Named after Morgoth's war-hammer from the First Age — a deliberate psychological weapon
