What were Biter and Beater in the book 'The Hobbit'?
'Beater and Biter' are names that the goblins/orcs gave to two swords: Glamdring, ancient sword of the King of Gondolin, and Orcrist, another famous and ancient blade. Being forged by elves, the two swords glowed blue in the presence of orcs. You see, in Middle-earth, people and especially orcs know the names of the most famous swords, as well they should, considering how many of their kind they lose to them. Thorin and Gandalf took these swords from the trolls' cave, and used them from then on. "Glamdring" means "foe-hammer" (the "dring" part means "hammer"), hence "Beater". "Orcrist" means "orc-cutter", hence "Biter". The orc-names are based on the Elvish names. In the Silmarillion, Tolkien described the city of Gondolin and its king, Turgon, who was Elrond's great-grandfather.
What is the importance of named swords from The Hobbit?
There is no reason in the story to name them, it wouldn't have affected the end results of the story line. But by providing the names, Tolkien adds a sense of history and depth to the books and to the history of Middle Earth. It hints of magic and civilizations in the past, anchoring the present of the story firmly into a history. It also shows the swords importance. All three were forged by the master-smith in Gondolin. Sting in particular needed the lineage to show its purpose as a spider killer. Shelob's predecessor Ungoliant made her abode in Ered Gorgoroth, right near Gondolin. The other swords were made to destroy orcs, and the orcs knew it when they saw them. Beater and Biter put great fear into them.
