Gollum is a creature from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, a being twisted by the One Ring. Once a hobbit-like individual named Sméagol, he was corrupted by the Ring's influence, becoming a gaunt, cave-dwelling creature. He is defined by his obsessive attachment to the Ring, which he calls my precious, and by his divided personality—the sly, murderous Gollum and the more timid Sméagol.
In the story, Gollum's fate is bound to the Ring, and he serves as a cautionary figure of how the Ring's power can ruin a life. He is known for his treacherous nature, his unsettling mannerisms, and his role in the quest to destroy the One Ring. His conflict between his two selves makes him one of the most memorable characters in the legendarium.
