-Gollum, {{gray|h}}, is introduced in EvilHack version 0.8.1 and encountered in a minor role based on his appearances in his source material. Gollum is a [[hobbit]]-like creature that lurks around a subterranean lake on the second floor of [[Goblin Town]], where some additional treasures can be found; he is capable of [[swimming]], and will wander around in search of [[corpse]]s to eat and items to pick up, including a cursed [[ring of invisibility]] (aptly [[name]]d The One Ring) that appears randomly on the floor. He has two weapon attacks, and can steal items from you with the latter.

-In [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]'s Middle-Earth setting, Gollum (also known as Sméagol) was originally a Stoorish hobbit during the middle periods of the Third Age. Sméagol's friend and close relative Déagol had offered him a cheap present on his birthday: later that day, Déagol was pulled into the water by a large fish while boating in the Gladden Fields, and found a gold ring. Sméagol demanded the ring as a birthday present and strangled Deágol when he refused, hiding his body afterward - thus, Sméagol became the fourth Ring-bearer.
