In "The Hobbit," the Battle of the Five Armies features five distinct groups (or "races") that participate in the conflict:
1. **Dwarves** – Led by Thorin Oakenshield, the dwarves are fighting to reclaim their homeland and treasure from the dragon Smaug.
2. **Men** – Primarily the people of Lake-town (Esgaroth) who seek a share of the treasure after helping to defeat Smaug.
3. **Elves** – Led by Thranduil, the Elvenking of the Woodland Realm, they come to claim a portion of the treasure for themselves.
4. **Orcs** – Representing the forces of evil, the orcs (and wargs) are seeking to seize the treasure and enact vengeance against the races of Middle-earth.
5. **Eagles** – Large eagles that arrive to aid the free peoples of Middle-earth in their fight against the orcs.
These groups unite and clash in the battle over the treasure of the Lonely Mountain and the surrounding territories.
