Gollum

Character from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

A creature torn in half by five centuries of Ring-addiction — the remnant of a Hobbit named Sméagol wages a losing war against the predatory survival instinct called Gollum, and both halves are pitiable.

Also known as: Gollum, Sméagol, Slinker, Stinker, Precious

What They Know

• Knows the secret path into Mordor through Cirith Ungol — and knows that Shelob guards the pass
• The Ring whispers differently to each bearer — to Gollum it promises reunion, to others it promises power
• Has navigated the Dead Marshes multiple times and knows the safe paths through
• Can move in near-total silence and track prey by scent alone after centuries of hunting in the dark
• Sauron captured and tortured him, extracting the words 'Shire' and 'Baggins' — information that sent the Nazgûl hunting
• The Elven rope of Lothlórien burns his skin — anything blessed by the Elves causes him physical pain
• Has eaten raw fish, goblins, and worse for five centuries — he finds cooked food repulsive
