Talk:Grond

Stub status[edit]

I've removed the stub template - while this remains a short article, I don't feel there is much more information to be added here. --Urbane legend 10:45, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

various[edit]

As I recall (and the Encyclopedia of Arda confirms), the first Grond was a mace, not a warhammer.
There's no indication that Sauron stashed the mace somewhere for thousands of years before reforging it into a battering ram. One was named after the other, but that's it.
The etymology of the name would be a worthwhile addition; the page linked above says it means club but doesn't say whether that's from a real language or one of Tolkien's invention.
I removed the external link to the black metal band; if it's ever famous enough for an article then it can be disambiguated appropriately.

In Other Media...[edit]

Grond is also the name of a Hulk-like villain in the superhero RPG Champions. --Dr Archeville 18:29, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding how many licks it took to get to the center...[edit]

There seems to be some conflicting reports between this article and the article on Battle of the Pelennor Fields...

Grond was a hundred feet long, large enough to need to be drawn by great beasts and operated :by mountain-trolls. However it took four blows to destroy the gate, and for the last three the :Witch-king enhanced the ram with a spell.

So, is the 'foul tip' implied? Or shouldn't it be mentioned explicitly? Ryecatcher773 06:35, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal[edit]

I don't think this article needs to exist. It really doesn't add anything that couldn't be in the list of middle-earth weapons and article. Carl Sixsmith (talk) 09:35, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
