Bilbo Baggins
Bilbo Baggins is the hobbit protagonist of J.R.R.
Tolkien's *The Hobbit* (1937), a comfort-loving homebody who reluctantly joins a quest and discovers unexpected courage.
The name has become shorthand for an unlikely hero—someone unremarkable who rises to adventure: He's a real Bilbo Baggins, that one.
