The History of Gollum
After reading the first to LotR books and gradually making my way into the RotK, Gollum has become a very important character mainly in TTT. At the beginning of the FotR a brief history was given about how the ring was eventually found by a creature that became "mutant" after spending so much time with the ring.
I was wondering if anyone knew the exact history of Gollum and where he came from before he inhabited the Misty Mountains. Thanks -nPiLL |

Look up Gollum in the Middle Earth Encycolpedia from the Barrowdowns homepage. It's got a thorough history of Gollum there. Welcome to the Downs!

Here's another great information source from the site's main page - Gollum was one of the past themes. Enjoy reading!

Wasn't Gollum a river folk, or was it a hobbit?
