For a hobbit, that's about as badass as they come. I kind of almost wish Tolkien had kept him instead of changing him into a Big Man called Strider.

If we're limited to hobbits who actually made it into the finished book, well I'm afraid I'll have to be boring and say Sam, but I also have a soft spot for Lobelia.
I hated Lobelia, until the scourging of the shire.
