Template:Noncanon Anar was a Dwarf that accompanied Bilbo Baggins on his journies after his birthday party.

Tolkien in the end decided not to elaborate on the Dwarves that were at Bag End during the party, and therefore scrapped his character. Although it is still possible that this was one of the Dwarves' names.

Etymology

Anar, or Anarr, is a dwarf from the Dvergatal. His name most likely means "the Other" or "Starer".[1]
