Bombur
Bombur was a Dwarf and a member of Thorin and
Company who fought in the
Battle
of the Five Armies. After this he settled and lived in Erebor. He was a
descendant
of the Dwarves who lived on Khazad-dum, but not of the line of Durin.
Bombur
was an extremely fat dwarf and by the time of the Lord of the Rings he could
not move by himself and required six Dwarves to lift him.

Bombur of
Thorin's Company
In the last group of Dwarves to arrive at Bilbo's
door were Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Thorin, and Gandalf.
Bombur wore a hooded cloak of pale green, the hood
of the best detachable party style same as the others. Even then, he
was "immensely fat and heavy".
To the food requests of the others, Bombur added
pork-pie and salad.
Bombur was one of the dwarves who helped Bilbo clear
the table, singing with the others. Only Thorin was considered too
important for such duties.
Bombur played the drum, which he had carried with
him.
