Biography
Bob worked at the stables near the inn of The Prancing Pony. His counterpart was Nob, who worked as a servant at the inn. They were both hired by Barliman Butterbur, and make very minor appearances in the books; Nob more so than Bob, due only to his "slow-coachery".[1][2]
In adaptations
Bob appeared in the 1981 BBC radio adaptation of the The Lord of the Rings and was voiced by Haydn Wood. Bob also appeared in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (video game), but not in the film.
