Gimli (Middle-earth)

Gimli, son of Glóin, is a Dwarf of Durin's Folk chosen to accompany Frodo Baggins on his quest to destroy the One Ring in The Lord of the Rings. Initially suspicious of Elves, he became an ardent admirer of Galadriel and a close friend of Legolas. Some say that he traveled with Legolas into the West, the first Dwarf to visit the Undying Lands.

• "No one tosses a dwarf!" (a very un-Tolkienish line from the Fellowship of the Ring movie)
