3D model history
Gollum is one of the key characters in the iconic book by John R. Tolkien. This creature used to be a simple hobbit called Smeagol who lived an ordinary hobbit life. But that was until he found a ring at the lake bottom when fishing with his brother. Smeagol wanted this ring for himself, but his brother refused to give it away, and so Smeagol killed him. He could not part with his precious possession, because the One Ring captures the mind of the one who owns it, which is exactly what happened to Smeagol. He was cast out of his village and disappeared in the Misty Mountains, in the dark of underground caves. The Ring extended his life, and for almost 500 years he lived on an islet of an underground lake in the mountains. The heroes he met spared his life because they believed that he could still play an important role. As a result, when Frodo could not force himself to throw the Ring into the lava to destroy it, Gollum attacked him and bit off his finger with the Ring on it. However, after a careless move he himself fell into the mouth of the volcano with the Ring in his hand and thereby destroyedˇ the dark Lord of the Rings, Sauron, whose spirit was kept in the Ring.
