Two prominent The Lord of the Rings characters lost a finger: the story's main antagonist, Sauron, and its protagonist, Frodo Baggins. Sauron lost a finger at the end of the War of the Last ...

The One Ring could corrupt even the noblest souls in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, but Sam was somehow able to resist its evil temptation.

Gollum then finds him, despite the Ring’s having made Frodo invisible, bites it off Frodo’s finger, and takes it for himself. The book and film more or less show this same sequence of events.
