Fatty Lumpkin, Farmer Maggot's largest, strongest, fattest, and oldest pony, carried Frodo, Sam, and Pippin safely through the marshes to Buckland during their escape from pursuit. Known to Tom Bombadil, who called him with a song, he returned home after the hobbits' crossing. A gentle giant whose strength aided the quest's secret leg.
Description
A large, strong, fat old pony, heavyset and shaggier than his kin, with a thick flowing mane and tail. His coat is coarse and weather-worn, eyes gentle and wise from years in the fields. Sturdy hooves and a placid, broad presence make him the epitome of reliable rural draft animal.
