He overheard much of Thorin and Company's plans to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from the Dragon Smaug, and he even learned that Bilbo came from the Shire, a land in far western Eriador. Gollum later guessed that Bilbo Baggins had the Ring when he discovered that he could not find it, and he chased after Bilbo, chanting "thief" as Bilbo ran away, invisible with the Ring on his finger. However, Bilbo did tell his name, and Gollum remembered it. Since Bilbo won, Gollum did not eat Bilbo as he planned. Gollum played a riddle game with Bilbo, and Bilbo won because he asked what was in his pocket, and Gollum did not know the correct answer. By coincidence, the One Ring abandoned Gollum and Bilbo found it and put it in his pocket, not knowing how important this mysterious Ring was. In 2941, after having lived in the Misty Mountains for nearly five hundred years, Gollum encountered Bilbo Baggins, a Hobbit of the Shire. He lived deep beneath Goblin-town in the Misty Mountains. Smeagol made a strange "Gollum" sound, so Smeagol became known as Gollum.
Smeagol lived on fish and Goblins, and ate other revolting things if he could find them. Smeagol took the Ring deep into the Misty Mountains, where it drove him mad, while at the same time giving him unnaturally long life. Smeagol strangled Deagol, taking the One Ring for himself.
But Smeagol also wanted the Ring, Smeagol arguing that it was his own birthday, but Deagol would not give up the Ring. Deagol found the One Ring at the bottom of the river while fishing, and immediately the Ring took over him, making him want it for himself. He only had one friend a Hobbit named Deagol, whom he once went fishing with in the Anduin. He was not well-liked by any of his family members. Smeagol once lived in Vales of the River Anduin near Gladden Fields, where he was part of a group of Hobbits called Stoors. Gollum, born as Smeagol sometime during the 2400s of the Third Age, was an individual of Hobbit origin who killed another Hobbit in order to acquire the One Ring.
