King Thranduil's elk may have been inspired by the Megaloceros ("Irish Elk"), a very large, prehistoric genus of deer which roamed Europe and Asia during the Pleistocene and earlier Holocene until about 7,700 years ago. More elk comically appear in the game LEGO The Hobbit: The Video Game, wherein they are shown as free-roaming elk in Mirkwood. The elk is eventually slain when charging into legion of Orcs, shot twice with arrows in the neck and once in the head. He is later seen assisting Thranduil when the battle breaks out around the mountain and the ruins of Dale - he uses his speed and massive antlers (while ridden) to trap, rout, and kill dozens of Orcs of the armies of Azog. The elk, now older and greyer, accompanies the Elven-king throughout the ordeals at the gates of Erebor. The elk's second and last appearance is in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, when Thranduil arrives in Dale to deliver food for Bard and his people. When the dragon Smaug attacks the Lonely Mountain, King Thranduil arrives astride his elk. The elk is first seen in the prologue of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Portrayal in adaptations Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy He was also marked by physical prowess and stamina to participate in a large battle without exhausting for considerable amount of time. Thranduil's elk is of great size, and is unfazed in the presence of extraordinarily large creatures such as Smaug and Were-worms.ĭuring the Battle of Five Armies, the elk seems brave, calm, and well-experienced with combat involving large numbers of foes, including smaller Orcs and Trolls. Please look at my other projects, sare these with your friends and support these.Thranduil shown on his great elk in the city of Dale Vote for my project and make the dream come true. The smaller version contains ~ 670 pieces and there are: And I made a hidden cabinet, where the two swords of Thranduil lies. I brought my own ideas to this project and build a new platform, an arc, the main gate and the bridges.

I wanted to build the awesome throne from the movie and I took that throne from the offical LEGO The Hobbit video game, but I had to change it, because it wouldn't work that way it was in the video game. And there are two more „roots-bridges“, these connects the gate with the throne of Thranduil. There are the bridge and the main gate of the Elven Halls.

The older version contains over 1.200 pieces! It has much more from the movie.
