Smeagol, also known as Gollum, is the corrupted hobbit from J R R Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, brought to screen in Peter Jackson's film trilogy with a motion capture performance by Andy Serkis. His repeated phrase my precious refers to his obsession with the One Ring, which drives the story. The distinctive raspy voice became one of the most quoted movie sounds online, shared in edits, reaction videos and soundboards whenever exaggerated possessiveness or fandom devotion needs a familiar shorthand that audiences instantly understand without any context at all.
