The nickname of Peregrin Took, one of the hobbits who sets out with Frodo Baggins on his quest in J.R.R. Tolkien's classic The Lord of the Rings. Pippin is the youngest of the four, and the most adventurous, if also the most foolish. He befriends Fangorn the Ent, is kidnapped by Orcs and fights valiantly against the shadow.
