LotRO: Shadow of Angmar’s famous Hobbits
We’re sure you’re familiar with the five most famous Hobbits (“Hobbitses,” according to Gollum) from the world of Middle Earth created by J.R.R. Tolkien. For today’s introduction of the Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar characters, we meet five Hobbits who played a crucial role in destroying the One Ring.
Hobbits are basically a race of half-lings, smaller than Men, Dwarves, and Elves. They are light footed and stealthy, loyal and resistant to corruption. The first Hobbit we meet is Bilbo Baggins. He got the One Ring from Gollum and is considered the most unusual hobbit in history. He gave the ring to Frodo who was tasked to take it to its destruction in Mordor.
Frodo Baggins was characterized in his younger years as a free spirited youth, though after the events seen in the Return of the King, he became solitary and depressed.
Frodo’s constant companion, Samwise Gamgee was the caretaker and gardener of Bag End (Frodo and Bilbo’s home). He’s loyal to his master and ever reliable. Their two other companions, Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took, or Merry and Pippin, are Frodo’s cousins. The two are mostly mischievous and carefree, though they balance each other. Merry is organized and thinks first while Pippin is headstrong and a bit careless.
Anyway, you’ll hopefully meet them in your own adventures in Middle Earth and Turbine Inc.’s Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar. Check out the concept art and the models so you’ll know what they look like. Happy adventuring!
