Not Lodril, mind you, but DH in general

Donkey was always a little resentful of working for humans, who tended to over work him. When he protested they hit him with sticks, and commanded, "You will carry anything you are told to carry!" One day he saw Yelm's enemy, who was tired and exhausted from carrying the New Weapon, and he asked, "Will you tell m to carry that?" The enemy did, and donkey bore the weapon to Yelm's court. The burden was heavy, but donkey bore it, and it burned a mark into his back so that everyone will remember this foul deed that as done for petty revenge, and so no one will mind hitting it with a stick.
