Nah, the hobbits were perfect for the job because they were naturally content, the ring didn't have the same power because their ambition topped out at plans for a third breakfast but they could never find a way to fit it in before first brunch.

The pipe weed likely contributed to both.

Also Gandalf has been tracking the ring and knew that a Hobbit cousin (ancestor?) had held onto it for centuries in the past while just fucking chilling.

He had a sample size of one, but Smeagle is the real reason why Gandalf choose hobbits. He might be a methhead by the first book, but no other sentiment creature could resist for months, let alone the time it took to turn into Gollum, who still managed to live a relatively harmless life.

Exactly.

In Deep Geek has a great video explaining in more detail why Gandalf picked the Hobbits he picked for the fellowship, and why Hobbit were the perfect choice for the task. But yeah, this sums it up nicely.

All that and also Eärendil's voyage to Valinor was the most important mission of all time.

Any sort of Middle Earth legendarium artwork is ok. It doesn't need to be made by or about hobbits.

Please give attribution to the original artist when possible.

It is not required, but if you know, please talk a bit about the scene in the image. What's going on? Who is in it? Why is it happening? Do you like it? Why?

Don't forget about the other hobbit forums here: !hobbits@hobbit.world !hobbit_games@hobbit.world
