 | | Gollum is related to the Hobbit family, I think he actually originated from hobbits, the Stoors I think it was, who never passed over the Mountains to the West of Middle Earth. | | | I think it's a key part of the story that Gollum WAS a hobbit before his ownerdhip of the ring Poboy, it's this recognition that brings out both Bilbo and Frodo's pity, and his understanding of Frodo and Sam..... | | | If you go through the dates in the Tale of Years, there are the Harfoots, the Fallohides, and the Stoors (who were the most water-loving of the Periannath). |

| | It may be that memories of the War of the Last Alliance existed among the Hobbits, either drawn from ancient experience or from exchanging tales with Men and Elves in Rhovanion. | | | The Harfoots and Fallohides may have been familiar to the Woodmen and the Elves of Thranduil's realm. | | | The Hobbits, like the Elves, were divided into three kindreds: the Fallohides, Harfoots, and Stoors. |

| | It is from the Stoors that the creature Gollum arose to play a part in the Greatest Tale. | | | The Fallohides were a woodland people, more given to hunting than to the tilling of the soil, loving trees and elves and having more consort than most with the other peoples of Middle Earth. | | | The bards tell no more tales of these brothers, aye, no more tales of hobbits at all, for their affairs lay in secret shadows for almost two thousand years. |

| | I guess they were of hobbit-kind; akin to the fathers of the fathers of the Stoors, for they loved the River, and often swam in it, or made little boats of reeds." So I would say Smeagol was a sort of prehistoric hobbit, kind of like our Cro-Magnon man or something. | | | He was Gollum before he was turned out by his grandmother, named as such because of the muttering he made in his throat and his theiving and such. | | | I think Tolkien relates this in how very different the society of Smeagol's people is from that of the hobbits; sadly, as much as I love Peter Jackson, his rendition of Smeagol's beginnings doesn't seem to take this into account. |
