Gollum
MajorA loathsome little creature with large flat feet that he paddled with, peering with pale luminous eyes and catching blind fish with his long fingers. He has a dark shape, long whitish hands, two pale lamplike eyes that shine coldly, thin and tough build, and moves by padding after others or lying on a log and paddling with hands and feet. His head and eyes tend to be downward, he is sharp-eyed, and remains thin and tough still after centuries.

Physical Description
A loathsome little creature with large flat feet that he paddled with, peering with pale luminous eyes and catching blind fish with his long fingers. He has a dark shape, long whitish hands, two pale lamplike eyes that shine coldly, thin and tough build, and moves by padding after others or lying on a log and paddling with hands and feet. His head and eyes tend to be downward, he is sharp-eyed, and remains thin and tough still after centuries. A small emaciated creature with deathly pale skin stretched tight over his skeletal frame and shrunken belly, long bone-thin arms and legs that end in large flat hands and feet. His disproportionately large head rests on a scrawny neck that twists with eerie flexibility, crowned by sparse lank hair hanging like rank weed over prominent bony brows. Protruding pale eyes with heavy lids gleam with pale green or yellow light, set above a snivelling nose and a wide mouth lined with sharp yellow teeth and colourless lips. He crouches and crawls on all fours like a frog or insect with startling agility, his movements tense and predatory whether creeping down cliffs head-first or bounding away in sudden leaps. A lean, starved, haggard thing, all bones and tight-drawn sallow skin. A crouching shape, scarcely more than the shadow of a living thing, a creature now wholly ruined and defeated, yet filled with a hideous lust and rage. He has wide-splayed hands with long fleshless fingers, white fangs that gleam and snap, and eyes with a wild light flaming in them.
