Forlong the Fat was a fictional character in the Middle-earth universe created by J. R. R. Tolkien. He was a supporting character in The Lord of the Rings.

[edit] In literature

Forlong was the Lord of Lossarnach. Though he, and many of his followers, were not of Númenórean descent, they fought for Gondor. Together with 200 men, mostly farmers, he rode to the aid of Minas Tirith on the 9th of March 3019 TA.

Forlong was killed in the Battle of Pelennor Fields on the 15th of March, as part of a sortie to aid the Rohirrim. Alone and unhorsed he was hewn by Easterling axes.
