Post #23,497 by boxley 1/8/02 11:58:13 AM Reply	hobbits in general were animorphes, humanoid otters or oterised humans, many of the characterictics of both. Gollum was a pre-hobbit, his advanced age and mutations degrading his humanoid characteristics. Hobbits were sleek and round thats why I dont get the movie visuals. (might go see it tommorow.) thanx, bill My Dreams aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be
