Tom Bombadil is a lumberjack that lives in a haunted forest. He only appears in the fellowship of the ring book not in the movie but J.R.R. Tolkien also made a book called The Adventures of Tom Bombadil. When Merry and Pippin were trapped by the creepy willow tree, Tom Bombadil sung a magical tune which caused the tree to free them.
