Later, he, Merry, Frodo, and Sam were instrumental in overthrowing the small remainder of Saruman's forces during the Scouring of the Shire. He remained in Gondor for the rest of his life. The name Peregrin was derived from the Latin word peregrinus "pilgrim". It was a name of a legendary traveller.
The hair on his head and his feet which are exceptionally hairy, even for a Hobbit was almost golden and curly. At the beginning of Quest of the Ring , he was smaller than the rest of the Hobbits because he was the youngest. But after he and Merry drank the draught from Treebeard, they became some of the tallest hobbits in history, towering at over four and a half feet. It was said he should stop growing as hats would become very expensive. In The Fellowship of the Ring , he was a worthy accomplice to Merry's plans, although he showed his age as well; he was a cheerful if not a sometimes thoughtless Hobbit, and seemingly had a knack for doing the wrong thing at the wrong time, but throughout The Lord of the Rings he becomes increasingly mature and courageous.
Pippin, like Merry, used a sword of the Westernesse he obtained from the Barrow-downs. When he arrived at Minas Tirith, he gained a sword that he later referred to as a "troll's bane. In the Lord of the Rings film trilogy , Pippin is played by Billy Boyd , who is the oldest of the actors portraying the four protagonist Hobbits Elijah Wood , who plays Frodo, is the youngest.
Pippin's foolish acts are mainly for comedic relief. Generally weaker than the rest, he does overcome his foolishness and becomes of much use in The Return of the King. In the films, Pippin loses his sword given by Aragorn at Weathertop , and later receives a short sword of Gondor, and the helmet and livery of the Citadel Guard.
He uses throwing knives instead of rocks. Explore Wikis Community Central. Register Don't have an account? Peregrin Took. View source. History Talk 0. Do you like this video?
Young or not, it's a good thing he's on the team. Meriadoc Brandybuck, also known as good ol' Merry, is the second-youngest member of the Fellowship. He's 37 years old when the Ring goes into the fires of Mount Doom, making him nearly a decade older than his bestie, Pippin. While still young for a hobbit — he's just four years past coming of age, after all — Merry shows a distinct struggle with maturity that his younger compatriot lacks.
For instance, when Pippin casually shrugs off the repercussions of looking into Saruman's seeing stone, it's Merry who calls his friend out on his flippant attitude. He sees the inherent danger that they're facing and chastises Pippin for his foolishness, throwing in the jab that his friend smokes too much — even if he is enabling him by giving him tobacco while he does so.
Then, as he watches Pippin race away with Gandalf on Shadowfax, he informs Aragorn that he's always been there to get his friend out of trouble. While Merry spends most of his time waffling between adulting and rabble-rousing — he does drink a lot and even gets caught stealing fireworks — he turns out to be just as valuable an addition to the crew as Pippin.
If it weren't for Merry's help, the ents likely wouldn't have attacked Isengard. As far as hobbits go, Samwise Gamgee finally starts to feel like we're dealing with an adult or at least a young adult. Gamgee is 39 years old when he helps dispose of the Ring.
Needless to say, Sam's temper, mood, and general demeanor tack toward the more mature. Merry and Pippin tend to be distracted by the slightest opportunity to eat, drink, smoke, and generally lounge around. In contrast, Sam has no problem prioritizing and tending to his responsibilities, whether they consist of caring for the Bag End garden, pursuing Rose Cotton, or helping his master travel across a continent to dispose of an over-powered trinket.
That said, Sam does still have his youthful moments. For instance, early in the book The Fellowship of the Ring , he's informed that they will be taking a shortcut across the Shire in order to avoid a run-in with the Black Riders. His predictable response is that he will faithfully follow his master wherever he goes. However, internally, he has private misgivings due to a "deep regret" at the fact that they won't be passing an inn situated along the original route that's well-known for its excellent beer.
For the most part, though, Sam regularly displays wisdom and endurance far beyond his years. He remains faithfully by his master's side, correctly identifies Gollum's treachery, fends off Shelob, keeps his master focused, and ultimately carries him halfway up a mountain — much of which can probably be directly attributed to his youthful energy, we might add.
While he doesn't live to see the Ring destroyed, Boromir is 41 years old when he joins the Fellowship of the Ring, putting him just a tad older than Samwise. The son of Denethor is a man of war through and through who, in spite of his years, still possesses a decent amount of youthful vigor.
Brave, strong, and daring, the heir to the steward of Gondor displays equal parts experience and energy throughout the adventures of the Fellowship. While he's most known by fans for his betrayal and attack on Frodo, before that point, Boromir cultivates a stellar military reputation and is widely known as a fierce warrior, a cunning captain, and a brave leader of men.
He's idolized by both the soldiers of Gondor and the riders of Rohan. Even after he falls to the lure of the Ring, Boromir is able to rally his spirits and sacrifice himself in defense of his younger companions, Merry and Pippin. The only member of the Fellowship to perish during the War of the Ring if you don't count Gandalf's death and resurrection , Boromir ultimately dies at a fairly young age, without even getting the chance for a good mid-life crisis beforehand. Frodo Baggins has a full ten years on Boromir, making him 50 years old throughout his adventures.
In fact, he literally kicks things off by leaving Bag End the day after his 50th birthday. While this puts him squarely in the middle of a hobbit lifespan, the truth is, the year-old Ringbearer is actually sporting a year-old body when he sets out on his quest.
Frodo receives the Ring from Bilbo during his 33rd birthday party — which happens to exactly coincide with Bilbo's st birthday. From that day forward, the hobbit doesn't age a day. The magic of the Ring prevents his body from aging, keeping him young and attracting the envy of his rapidly aging neighbors.
So, while Frodo is technically older than Merry, Sam, and Boromir, in a certain sense, he's physically younger than all of them. This ends up creating the perfect mix of youthful strength and middle-aged wisdom that makes Frodo the perfect candidate for the job of destroying the One Ring. Aragorn , son of Arathorn, is unique among the men of Middle-earth, particularly during the events of The Lord of the Rings.
