Mîm lived with his two sons at ] in middle ], where he kept a secret treasury. During ]'s time with the Outlaws, Mîm and sons were seen as they sneaked past the outlaws carrying heavy sacks. Mîm was captured, and arrows were shot at his sons '''Ibun''' and '''Khîm'''.

In exchange for his life, Mîm was forced to lead the outlaws to his secret halls in Amon Rûdh. There, it turned out Khîm had been killed by an arrow, and Túrin repenting offered his service to Mîm. For this reason Mîm tolerated the outlaws, and although he never loved Túrin, the dwarf at least came to respect him.

When ] Cúthalion arrived at Amon Rûdh, Mîm was angry: he hated ], especially the ]. Nevertheless he had to tolerate the Elf in his halls. After Amon Rûdh was betrayed to ], Mîm somehow escaped, but it seems Ibûn was killed by ]s. Eventually Mîm made his way to ruined ] after ] had killed ], and took the treasure for his own.

] Thallion, who had seen all that had happened to Túrin with Morgoth's eyes, came across Mîm in Nargothrond, and killed him, deeming him partially responsible for Túrin's fate. With his dying words Mîm cursed the treasure. Húrin's band brought the treasure of Nargothrond to ], where eventually the gold was a reason for the Sack of Doriath and the death of ].

==Other versions of the legendarium==

Note that in the published '']'' Mîm hardly appears. His ro\le is much expanded in the ] as published in '']''.

In earlier versions of ''The Silmarillion'' as detailed in '']'' series, Mîm was a much more evil character. But as ] gradually changed in Tolkien's writings from evil Orc-like beings to the Dwarves they later became, Mîm's character was changed, and in the final texts he is no longer a true villain, but almost a tragic character in his own right.

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
    • This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).
  • To an embedded anchor: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to an embedded anchor on the redirect's target page.
    • An {{anchor|(anchor name)}} or {{visible anchor}} template, a HTML element with id="(anchor name)", or an |id=(anchor name) parameter might be installed at the beginning of a paragraph, in or near a section header or within a table. The anchor might also be an old section header that has been edited and is anchored within or near the new header to prevent broken internal and external links.
    • Even though section headers of the general form ==(Header name)== are themselves a type of anchor, use {{R to section}} instead.
  • From a fictional character: This is a redirect from a fictional character to a related fictional work or list of characters. The destination may be an article about a related fictional work that mentions this character, a standalone list of characters, or a subsection of an article or list.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
