Tolkien's legendarium, and the main protagonist of The Lord of the Rings . Frodo is a hobbit of the Shire who inherits the One Ring from his cousin (referred to as his uncle) Bilbo Baggins and undertakes the quest to destroy it in the fires of Mount Doom . He is also mentioned in Tolkien's posthumously published works, The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales . </P> <P> Frodo did not appear until the third draft of A Long - Expected Party (the first chapter of The Lord of the Rings), when he was named Bingo (after a family of toy koala owned by Tolkien's children), son of Bilbo Baggins and Primula Brandybuck . In the fourth draft, he was renamed Bingo Bolger - Baggins, son of Rollo Bolger and Primula Brandybuck . Tolkien did not change the name to Frodo until the third phase of writing, when much of the narrative, as far as the hobbits' arrival in Rivendell, had already taken shape . Prior to this, the name "Frodo" had been used for the character who eventually became Peregrin Took . </P>

Where did frodo have to take the ring
