legolas's hair colour is not definitively stated. both ralph bakshi and peter jackson make him blond in their respective film adaptations (see below). this is supported by the fact that thranduil, legolas's father and a sindarin elf, is described in "the hobbit" as having golden hair. in a musical version of "the lord of the rings", legolas is dark-haired. in the real-time strategy game "", his hair is white or silver.
legolas
the grey horse given to legolas by the riders of rohan in "the two towers". gimli also rides him, sitting behind legolas, until they reach minas tirith. the epilogue to "the lord of the rings" (published in "the history of middle-earth", volume ix, "sauron defeated") has sam saying that "legolas let his horse run back free to rohan from isengard", presumably after the war, when legolas and gimli left the rest of the company to visit aglarond and fangorn. the name arod means 'swift' and 'noble.' in "the lord of the rings" by "j.r.r. tolkien" legolas refers to arod as 'brave' and 'a defender of the elves' when the horse so willingly carried legolas and gimli through all their perils on their quest.
