When Bilbo is in the tunnels of the Goblins, he finds an invisibility ring. The ring belongs to the creature that lives in the deep lake of the cave. This creature is Gollum, and it is a very dangerous creature that may choose to eat anything it comes across. Bilbo is knocked out when he hits his head on a rock in a battle with the goblins.
