Grond (called the Hammer of the Underworld) is a fictional object from the works of J. R. R. Tolkien.
In the First Age, Grond was the great hammer of Morgoth, who wielded it as a mace when he fought with Fingolfin. During the War of the Ring, in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, a great battering ram one hundred feet long and whose head was shaped like a snarling wolf named after the first Grond was used to break the gate of Minas Tirith. Aided by a spell of the Witch-king of Angmar, and the spells cast upon it during its forging in Mordor, Grond destroyed the gate in four blows.
In Peter Jackson's movie trilogy, Grond has fire spewing from its gaping jaws and is being pulled by 2 huge rhinocerous-like creatures.
