Gríma played a major role in the back-story to The Lord of the Rings, prior to his first appearance in The Two Towers. Saruman countered by revealing to the Hobbits that Gríma had murdered and possibly eaten Lotho Sackville-Baggins, a kinsman of Frodo whereupon Gríma killed Saruman and was shot by Hobbit archers. When Saruman was overthrown by a hobbit rebellion and ordered to leave, Frodo Baggins implored Gríma not to follow him, and even offered him food and shelter. During this time, Saruman shortened his nickname to "Worm". Gríma accompanied Saruman to the Shire, where Saruman sought revenge for his defeat at Orthanc in petty tyranny over the Hobbits. Following the confrontation between Saruman and Gandalf, Gríma mistakenly threw the palantír of Orthanc at the Rohirrim accompanying Gandalf, or possibly at Saruman himself, and so permitted its capture by Pippin. Choosing the latter, he went to Saruman at Orthanc. Théoden decided to go forth to battle at the Fords of Isen, and Gríma was given a choice: prove his loyalty and ride into battle with the king, or ride into exile. Upon Théoden's restoration, "many things which men had missed" were found locked in Gríma's trunk, including the king's sword,Herugrim. His schemes were foiled when Gandalf the White and his companions arrived at Edoras, and convinced the king that he was not as weak as his adviser had made him seem. Her brother Éomer accused him of "watching her under his lids and haunting her steps". It is implied that Saruman had promised him Éowyn, the king's niece, as a reward for his services. He was widely disliked in Edoras everyone except Théoden called him "Wormtongue" for his abuse of others. Gandalfrepeatedly compares him to a snake: Tolkien describes him as "a wizened figure of a man, with a pale wise face, and heavy lidded eyes", with a "long pale tongue". Gríma, son of Gálmód, was at first a faithful servant, but he eventually fell in league with Saruman, and from then on worked to weaken Théoden and his kingdom through lies and persuasion. It is also possible to link the name to the English word "grim", which among other characteristics means "ugly" in Old English. The name Gríma derives from the Old English or Icelandic word meaning "mask", "helmet" or "spectre". Gríma serves as an anarchetypal a sycophant, a flatterer, a liar, and a manipulator. He is introduced in The Two Towers as the chief advisor to King Théoden of Rohan and henchman of Saruman. He serves as the secondary antagonist of " The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", and then returns as a minor antagonist in " The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King". Gríma Wormtongue (or just Wormtonge) is a major antagonist in the epic fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien, and in Peter Jackson's film trilogy adaptations.
