 | - Gollum is actually a hobbit. He is the only hobbit to ever have become truly evil.
- In early editions, Gollum uses the words my precious to refer to himself. In later editions, after he had written The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien has Gollum using the words to refer to either himself or the ring!
- Orcs (or goblins) lived all over and throughout the Misty Mountains. They were bred by an evil god-like character called Melkor as an evil version of elves. Like elves, orcs were fierce, strong warriors and did not die naturally. Most orcs hated the sun, hated beautiful things and they loved killing and destroying things.
Orcs liked blood and raw flesh and even ate their own kind!
Orcs were excellent at making tunnels and weapons and their medicines were extremely effective even though they tasted terrible or stung.
Orcs were mostly short, wide-bodied with bow-legs, long arms, dark faces and long fangs.
