Goba Wyrmtongue is King Gobbsmack’s advisor and translator.
Gríma, called (the) Wormtongue, is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. He serves as a secondary antagonist there; his role is expanded in Unfinished Tales. He is introduced in The Two Towers as the chief advisor to King Théoden of Rohan and henchman of Saruman.
Gríma, son of Gálmód, is at first a faithful servant, but he falls in league with Saruman, and from then on works to weaken Théoden and his kingdom through lies and persuasion, in his position as chief advisor to the King.
Tolkien describes him as “a wizened figure of a man, with a pale wise face, and heavy lidded eyes”, and a “long pale tongue”. Gríma is widely disliked in Edoras; everyone except Théoden calls him “Wormtongue”. In Old English wyrm means “serpent, snake, or dragon.” Gandalf repeatedly compares him to a snake:
The wise speak only of what they know, Gríma son of Gálmód. A witless worm have you become. Therefore be silent, and keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a serving-man till the lightning falls. – Gandalf
