It has long been clear that Sam (usually) wins (almost) any poll he's in - unless Bill the Pony is an option. In fact, Bill the Pony is so popular that he was previously voted the "real" hero of Lord of the Rings!
So alright, fine. Let's see how they do head to head. Sam dispatched both Elrond and Pippin with ease, but will he find a more difficult opponent in the Battle of Bywater's most notable participant? Or will Bill "turn tail and dash away" as he did at the entrance to Moria, fleeing from the Watcher's tentacles? Only time (and the results of this poll) will tell!

✨ Bill The Pony ✨
Painted for Magic: The Gathering - Tales of Middle Earth
AD: Colin Boyer
FINALLY! After two long years I can show Bill, the first MtG card I have ever painted. It's special to me because of that, but also because it's related to Lotr!
Edit: Sorry, had to delete the sketches. Middle Eearth Enterprises doesn’t allow us to show any progress steps.

The youngest and oldest members of the Fellowship:
Pippin: Youngest at 28. Unless you count Bill the Pony who can be anywhere between 4 and 25.
Gandalf: Oldest existence, unless you count physical age only. Then its a potential tie or maybe even getting beaten out by Legolas who can be anywhere between 500 and 4000.
Everyone else for the record:
Aragorn: 87
Frodo: 50
Samwise: 38.
Gimli: 139
Boromir: 40
Merry: 36
If we count Smeagol: 578
So the longest lived mortal is potentially Smeagol at 578. The youngest 100% is Bill the Pony.

Before the Fellowship departs Rivendell, Sam is gloomily talking to Bill the Pony.
" 'Bill, my lad,' he said, 'you oughtn't to have took up with us. You could have stayed here and et the best hay till the new grass comes.' Bill swished his tail and said nothing."
😂😂
Tolkien's subtle humor tho.
