Gollum

Gollum is a fictional character from J.R.R. Tolkien’s universe, notably "The Lord of the Rings." Once a hobbit-like creature named Sméagol, he was transformed by the corrupting power of a magical ring, which he called "the One Ring." The ring granted him long life but also corrupted his mind, splitting his personality between his original self and his darker, obsessive side. Gollum is characterized by his cunning, dual nature, and obsession with reclaiming the ring, which significantly influences the story's events.
