Fatty Lumpkin

Fatty Lumpkin, the stout and steadfast pony companion of Tom Bombadil, debuts in The Fellowship of the Ring as a wandering denizen of the hills near Bombadil's house, embodying the rustic freedom of the Old Forest. Though his role is brief and bucolic, he plays a pivotal part in aiding the hobbits by carrying their ponies back to the stable after their rescue from peril. Across the sprawling epic of The Lord of the Rings, Fatty Lumpkin remains a static yet cherished figure, confined to the early adventures without further evolution or appearances in later volumes.
