14) What is Gollum's name for his ring?


The Ring, which Gollum referred to as "my precious" or "precious", extended his life far beyond natural limits. Centuries of the Ring's influence twisted Gollum's body and mind, and, by the time of the novels, he "loved and hated the Ring, just as he loved and hated himself."
