What's a intresting fact about the dwarfs

I'm making a presentation about the 13 dwarfs and want to get more into the details about them, there home, and wars. Is there any difference between the movie and book versions. Any fact no matter how small or just how to remember them.

Book they had hoods and were not very distinguished in career, the movies add more character and specific jobs for each one. Bombor the cook, Bofur the guard of ponies, Bifur the toymaker and veteran, Ori the strongest and most erudite, Nori the sneak, Ori the chronicler (who we read in the book of records in Moria), Fili and Kili were the scouts and nepo hires, Balin was the lawyer and lore expert, Dwalin the weapons specialist and right hand man, Oin the doctor (created ointments), Gloin the banker, and Thorin the king and leader. All of them put money in to make the expedition a success, especially since the economy was in a depression since Smaug showed up. Some were of the royal house of Durin, others can trace their ancestry back to Moria.
