Nar (companion of Bilbo)
Nar was one of the Dwarves that helped Bilbo Baggins on the preparations for his big birthday feast.
History
Bilbo had ordered presents from Erebor and Dale, and in September dwarves with long beards and deep hoods driving a wagon came to Hobbiton. Some of them, stayed in Bag End for the following days doing preparations.
After Bilbo's disappearance trick, he returned invisible to Bag End while dwarves were doing work in various rooms, packing and labelling Bilbo's farewell presents. Bilbo took his stuff and had a quarrel with Gandalf about leaving his magic ring behind. After the dialogue, Bilbo whistled and Nar, Anar and Hannar, came and said that everything was ready and labelled. Then they took off.
Other versions of the legendarium
The names of Nar, Anar and Hannar appear in the early writings of the chapter "A Long-expected Party", where Nar was given some dialogue and a bit more development. However, Tolkien later changed his mind, and did not disclose their names in the published book nor gave him any dialogue; the name Nár was given to a different dwarf in the final work.
In that early text also, except the three dwarves who accompanied Bilbo, there was a fourth dwarf, Lofar, who stayed behind, but there is no trace or mention of him in the published book.
Etymology
Nár is a dwarf from the Dvergatal. His name means "Corpse".
