Bandobras "Bullroarer" Took
Bandobras "Bullroarer" Took was the son of Thain Isumbras III of the Took line. He was distinguished by his great height (for a Hobbit), being four foot five and thus able to ride a horse.
Bandobras was famous for averting a goblin invasion of the Shire at the Battle of Greenfields of T.A. 2747, and personally slaying the goblins' leader, Golfimbul, taking Golfimbul's head off with a club. According to a legend, the goblin's head flew through the air for 100 yards and went down a rabbit hole; it is said that this is how the game of golf was invented.
