Tolkien is so funny. In The Hobbit there are thirteen dwarves, but one dwarf is the most important. See if you can guess which is the important dwarf from just their names. Here they are, in order of introduction:

Dwalin
Balin
Fili
Kili
Dori
Nori
Ori
Oin
Gloin
Bifur
Bofur
Bombur
Thorin Oakenshield

Hint: it's not Bombur.
