Despite the negative and the vague presentation of Gollum’s character that make him very hard to place in any distinct class he yet remains a Ring-carrier (to be trailed by Bilbo Baggins and afterward by Bilbo’s nephew Frodo, yet unexpectedly the one and only intended to turn into the Ring-destroyer) and additionally an individual from the same race. Bilbo and Gollum belonged to the same race; this can be initially seen in The Hobbit, their knowledge about the riddle game, bears a testimony to the fact that they shared a similar culture.
