Farmer Maggot, sturdy hobbit of the Marish, aided Frodo, Sam, and Pippin with his pony cart during their flight from the Black Riders, despite old grudges over mushroom-thieving. Guardian of Bamfurlong with his fierce dogs, he bridged hobbit folk and greater perils. His timely help sped the hobbits toward Crickhollow and safety.
