Frodo Baggins inherits Bilbo’s ring in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.
Bilbo Baggins gives the One Ring to Frodo before leaving the Shire. Gandalf later discovers that the ring is the One Ring created by Sauron, making Frodo’s inheritance the starting point for the central quest of Tolkien’s epic.
Frodo carries the ring from Hobbiton to Rivendell and eventually into Mordor. At the Council of Elrond, he volunteers to take it toward Mount Doom, where it can be destroyed. The journey makes him the story’s ring-bearer, although other characters also carry the ring briefly at different points.
Readers sometimes confuse Frodo with Samwise Gamgee, his closest companion. Sam helps Frodo throughout the journey and carries him near the end, but Frodo is the character who inherits the ring from Bilbo and bears the main responsibility for its destruction.
