Bandobras 'Bullroarer' Took, son of Isumbras III, earned his nickname in the Battle of Greenfields in S.R. 1147 by routing a goblin invasion. At an unprecedented height for a hobbit of four foot five, he rode a horse into battle and with a mighty kick decapitated the goblin chieftain Golfimbul, sending his head into a rabbit-hole. His legend bolsters Hobbit lore and the Tookish spirit of defiance.
Description
Unusually tall for a hobbit at four foot five, Bandobras has a slimmer, athletic Fallohide build capable of riding a horse. His face shows sturdy hobbit features with a resolute expression. He dresses in practical hobbit attire suited for action, exuding bold confidence.
