Best Dwarf
Bombur. He's absolutely my favorite. I love the quote about him in LotR:
"Bombur was now so fat that it took six young dwarves to move him from his couch to his table." (paraphrased). LOL! Balin is second. He's nice to Bilbo.

I also liked Balin for much the same reasons. I liked Fili and Kili as well

I liked Dori (the strongest of the Company). He was always getting stuck with carrying Bilbo everywhere and grumbling about it. Rather amusing.

Auger. from the novel "A Walk out of the World" by Ruth Nichols. its lighter reading than Tolkien for Ruth was only 18 or 19 when she wrote it. but good reading nonetheless. and i dont know if i could say Auger is the best dwarf, but one of my favorites no doubt.
of Tolkien's dwarves i loved Balin the best. he actually visited Bilbo after their adventure. he was really kool. |

I personally liked Thorin the best, I was really impressed with the character change he had during the story, in my opinion, he had the most personality.

At first, I didn't aprove of Thorin that much. He though of himself as being superior to the others, and kind of looked down on them. He did stay that way through most of the book, as seen in the interactions with the elven king and the lakemen. There was gradual improvement, and he did show a change before his death. I respect him for that.

Hmmm . . . I could never quite forgive Thorin for being so full of himself. Although it was rather amusing.

There all the same anyway apart from a few personality differences. So going by these mine would have to be Fili.

Fili and Kili! They reminded me of Pippin...young, energitic, but so tragic. (PS...That last point doesn't apply to Pippin,of course.)

I would have to say Balin. Anyone who is a friend of Bilbo (my favorite Tolkien character) is awesome! I also like Thorin, except for his arrogance.

Dori. He was very nice about helping Bilvo whenever they were in trouble.

Kili! He's always so happy. He's always willing to help, and always kind to others.

I don't like Thorin because of the same reasons. He didn't liked Bilbo from the start of the book and he annoyed me!!! |

Hmm. The nicest dwarves were probably Balin and Dori, because they were nice to Bilbo. Isn't it weird how we all seem to jude them on whether they are nice to Bilbo or not! lol
The funniest is definately Bombur!

Of course we are because he is the main-chracter. If Thorin was the main chracter it was a different dwarf (or hobbit).

Balin was my favorite because of his kindness to Bilbo.
