The Nasty Villains - Book Costume Descriptions
from The Hobbit book
Tolkien's Middle-earth would be nothing without the wide collection of
nasty villains - a Dragon, Goblins and Trolls . The book's characters are less scary than the later
LOTR books, since "The Hobbit" is a kid's story.
Tolkien's costume description are minimal. However everyone
has clothing... and pockets are very important. There is no
clarification if they wear more ragged, grungier version of the Hobbit
clothing, or the more simple garments of the men.
Character Index
Smaug - the Dragon
- Smaug is a red-gold dragon with an enormous tail and wings. He
breathes fire.
- The dragon has a soft underbelly almost completely encrusted with gems
from his horde. (Smaug is a costumer's dream... glitter and
glow and many shiny things he hords.)
They normally wear hard soled shoes or boots. Goblins would put on soft shoes for
sneaking around in tunnels quietly.
They carry red & black banners.
The Trolls wear much more clothes than in the latest movie.
- They wear shirts with sleeves...
- to wipe their greasy mouths while eating roast mutton
- They wear trousers with pockets...
