- "That's a dark bad place, if half the tales be true."
- ― Daddy Twofoot on the Old Forest[1]
Daddy Twofoot was a Hobbit of the Shire in the late Third Age.
History[edit | edit source]
Daddy Twofoot lived in a hole on Bagshot Row in Hobbiton, right next door to Hamfast Gamgee and his family. He was a regular at the Ivy Bush Inn, where he was one particular evening in T.A. 3001, when Hamfast Gamgee entertained his fellow patrons with his knowledge of Bag End and "Mad Baggins". During the conversation, Dad seconded Old Noakes's disdain for the Bucklanders, considering them peculiar strangers.[1]
