Grond (Hammer of the Underworld)
From Tolkien Gateway
Grond, called the Hammer of the Underworld, was Morgoth's mighty mace that he bore when he fought Fingolfin before the doors of Angband. Each time Grond struck the ground it created a pit from which smoke and fire erupted. However, Fingolfin evaded these strokes; he only fell when he grew weary and Morgoth was able to crush him under his shield.[1]
