Why are hobbits immune to the Ring?

Chief among the reasons that the hobbits are more resistant to the Ring is that they do not crave power, lust after fame, or desire to rule over any others. Many of the other characters in The Lord of the Rings have their own agendas and secret desires, which the Ring is able to corrupt them through.

Like it or not, Frodo is not Bilbo’s nephew. Nor is Bilbo Frodo’s uncle. The two Hobbits are distant cousins.

Gandalf ‘felt’ that he was bolder than the other hobbits and he decided to have Bilbo join Thorin and his company. Gandalf (and many others) regarded Bilbo and Frodo as the best hobbits in whole Middle-earth.

Is Gollum a hero or villain?

Type of Villain Gollum, originally known as Sméagol or Trahald, is a creature of Hobbit origin and a major antagonist in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-Earth legendarium.

Why did Gollum never wear the Ring?

From what I’m reading, Gollum didn’t wear it all the time (maybe he came to hate it) and had only had it on when he had lost it to Bilbo because it was ideal to wear the Ring when attacking goblins. The Nazguls never got the One Ring. They took the other less powerful rings that were controlled by the One Ring.
