"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

Daddy Twofoot lived in a hole on Bagshot Row in Bywater, 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 Third Age 3001, when Hamfast Gamgee entertained his fellow patrons with his knowledge of Bag End and "Mad Baggins". During the conversation, Daddy showed some disdain for Bucklanders, considering them peculiar strangers.[1]

Portrayal in adaptations
