Other names

Bullroarer — The by-name the tradition knows him under; the Prologue sets it in brackets beside his name at his first appearance, and Pippin uses it in Moria as a measure of courage.

In briefanswer capsule

Bandobras Took, called the Bullroarer, was the son of Isengrim II and at four foot five the tallest hobbit on record until Meriadoc and Peregrin drank the ent-draught. In 2747 of the Third Age he beat back an Orc-band in the Northfarthing — the Battle of Greenfields, the only battle fought inside the Shire before the War of the Ring. He was tall enough to ride a horse.
