In "The Hobbit," the Battle of the Five Armies features five distinct armies, which can be considered as representing different races. The armies involved are:
1. **Dwarves** - Led by Thorin Oakenshield and his company.
2. **Elves** - Led by Thranduil, the Elvenking of the Woodland Realm.
3. **Men** - Specifically from Lake-town (Esgaroth), led by Bard the Bowman.
4. **Goblins** - Also referred to as the "goblins of the Misty Mountains."
5. **Wargs** - Often allied with the goblins and counted as a separate force.
While traditionally it might seem like there are only five armies, some interpretations consider the Wargs and Goblins as one army, resulting in the naming of "five armies." However, for a broader perspective, you could indeed argue that six races are involved:
1. Dwarves
2. Elves
3. Men
4. Goblins
5. Wargs
6. If you include the eagles, who come to aid the free peoples at the crucial moment, they could be considered a sixth group.
So, while the official title is "The Battle of the Five Armies," there is room for interpretation regarding the inclusion of the Wargs and the Eagles as distinct entities.
