Dwarves are often thought of as the most technologically advanced race in The Lord of the Rings, and for good reason. Not only did they have access to all the mined resources they could possibly want, but they were also the best crafters and blacksmiths around. But when it comes to new inventions and pushing Middle-earth’s technology forward, another race had them beaten — Goblins.As for what exactly Goblins are, this is where things can get confusing. The term Goblin was used throughout The Hobbit to describe the creatures under the Misty Mountains; however, they’ve also been referred to as Orcs numerous times. It’s generally accepted that Goblins are indeed the same as the Orcs seen in The Lord of the Rings, except the name is used to describe far more scrawny and mischievous groups who dwell together. Because of this less-brutish nature, they focus on their inventions to survive.After the Dwarves are captured by Goblins in The Hobbit, they describe the Goblins as having “dark technology.” The text also claims, “It is not unlikely that they invented some the machines that have since troubled the world, especially the ingenious devices for killing large numbers of people at once, for wheels and engines and explosives always delighted them.” This line was taken to heart in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy, where the Goblins of Goblin-town are seen to have a variety of unique torture devices.
