Smeagol

Gollum, originally named Sméagol, is a fictional character from J.R.R. Tolkien's universe, notably "The Lord of the Rings." Once a hobbit-like creature, he is corrupted by the powerful and dangerous One Ring, which grants him unnatural longevity but also transforms his personality into obsessive, sneaky, and often malicious behavior. Gollum is characterized by his split personality—torn between the deceptive, cunning Gollum and the remnants of his former, innocent self. His complex nature highlights themes of temptation, corruption, and duality, making him a memorable symbol of the corrupting influence of power.
