Dori (Middle-earth)

In J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy, The Hobbit, Dori is one of three dwarf brothers (the other two are Nori and Ori) who befriend Bilbo and travel with him in search of Smaug's treasure caverns.

It fell to Dori to carry Bilbo in the tunnels of the Misty Mountains during the escape from the goblins, but Dori dropped Bilbo and the other dwarves blamed him for "losing their burglar".

During the escape from the Wargs, Bilbo grabs Dori's legs as they scramble up into the trees.
