Hero of the Battle of Greenfields. Bandobras Took was the second son of Thain Isumbras III (see Note below). He was born in 2704. Bandobras is noteworthy among Hobbits for being four feet, five inches tall and able to ride a horse. He was the tallest Hobbit on record until he was surpassed in height by Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took.
Bandobras also gained fame for leading the Hobbits at the Battle of Greenfields in 2747 when Orcs from Mount Gram in the Misty Mountains invaded the Northfarthing. At this battle, Bandobras charged at the Orc leader Golfimbul and knocked off his head with a club. The Orc'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.
Bandobras was given the nickname "Bullroarer." From him were descended the North-tooks of Long Cleeve, where Peregrin Took's wife Diamond of Long Cleeve came from. Bandobras died in 2806.
