Gollum, originally known as Sméagol (or Trahald), was at first a Stoor, one of the three early Hobbit-types. The name Gollum was derived from the sound of his disgusting gurgling, choking cough.

Actor:
Naughty little fly
Why does he cry?
Caught in a web
Soon you'll be...
Eaten.
Voiceless, it cries
Wingless flutters
Toothless bites
Mouthless mutters
