Grond

Grond, the Hammer of the Underworld, is an enormous battering ram deployed by the Morgul-host to break the Great Gate of Minas Tirith.

This weapon was forged in Anglach and has dark spells of ruin cast upon it. Sauron named it after the Hammer of the Underworld of old, to honour his former master, Morgoth.

Description

Grond is brought into battle during the Epic Battle Hammer of the Underworld.

It is pulled by two Sûlokil in the front and its ram is swung by two more Sûlokil chained to it in the rear.

During the battle the Lord of the Nazgûl speaks words of power to aid it in destroying the Gate.

Though it has stats and can be seemingly struck by catapults, it cannot be damaged.
