Hobbit of the Stoor strain, born in the stoor settlement near the Gladden Fields. About 2463 his cousin Deagol found the One Ring while fishing, and Gollum murdered him for it. Soon he became odious to his family and was driven out of the Stoor community. Gollum hid in the Misty Mountains, falling more and more under control of the Ring until 2941, when he lost it. Bilbo Baggins found the Ring and took it with him to the Shire. Gollum suspecting that Bilbo had the Ring, came out of the Misty Mountains to search for Bilbo, his need for the Ring overcoming his hatred of the Sun and Moon.
A few years before the War of the Ring, Gollum was captured by Sauron, who discovered about the Shire and Baggins, Sauron released Gollum, in 3017 he was captured by Aragorn, and turned over to Gandalf. The Wizard gave Gollum over to the Elves of the Woodland Realm but Gollum escaped and went in search of the Ring. He caught up with Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring outside the Weat-Gate of Khazad-dum, and followed the Fellowship through Moria and Lorien. Gollum was captured by Frodoand Sam in the Emyn Muil.Gollum led Frodo and Sam through the Dead Marshe's and to Cirith Ungol, the least guarded rout into Mordor. However, there he betrayed them to Shelob, hoping to recover the Ring but Shelob was wounded by Sam, and Gollums plan failed, and so he followed Frodo and Sam to the top of Mount Doom were he attacked Frodo and in the struggle that followed he bit of Frodo's Ring-finger but as he did Gollum fell into the Cracks of Doom, destroying both himself and the Ring.
Gollum originally looked like a normal Hobbit, but his long years in the dark and damp under the power of the Ringdrastically affected his appearance. The description of him vary somewhat, but he seem's by the time of Bilbo and Frodoto have thin and wiry, with black skin, flat feet, long thin hands, and large eyes. Although his sight was poor, his earing was acute, and he could move silently and climb like a insect. Because of his long domination by the Ring, Gollum feared all things Elven; Elven ropes burned his flesh and lembas tasted like dust.
Gollum's real name was Trahald, a northern Mannish name meaning 'burrowing, the anglicised Mannish equivalent was Smeagol. He was called Gollum because of the disgusting noise he made in his throat; the name was originally given to him by his family after he had found the Ring. The Orcs of Cirith Ungol called him Her Sneak for his service to Shelob. Sam devised two names for him Slinker and Stinker for the two aspects of Gollum's nature while he was serving Frodo. The former referred to his fawning behaviour towards Frodo the Ring-bearer and his sworn master, which is part of his sincere desire to be good, while the latter referred to Gollum spitful, treacherous, hating behaviour towards all else.
