Gollum, Nasty Treacherous Creature is largely overshadowed by {{Card|Gollum, Dark As Darkness}} in formats like [[Movie Block]] where both are legal. He's very annoying, since he's hard to kill before the [[Regroup Phase]] without an [[overwhelm]], but [[Exert|exerting]] a character can't kill them. He's moderately useful in decks that can apply wounds in Regroup, like [[Isengard Orcs]], but {{C|Gollum}}-focused decks like [[Ninja Gollum]] usually prefer Dark as Darkness's ability to wound the [[Ring-bearer]], or versions of [[Gollum]] that can win skirmishes, like {{Card|Gollum, Stinker}}.

His ability to exert [[Ally|allies]] is fairly marginal, since he can't kill allies to prevent them from being healed. {{C|Shire}} ally decks like [[Hobbit Hospital]] run {{Card|Frodo, Old Bilbo's Heir}} and {{Card|Hobbit Party Guest}}. {{C|Elven}} ally decks run very strong healing in cards like {{Card|Elrond, Lord of Rivendell}}, {{Card|Elrond, Herald to Gil-galad}}, {{Card|Galadriel, Lady of Light}}, and {{Card|Galadriel, Lady of the Golden Wood}}. He's occasionally useful against allies of other cultures, like {{Card|Thrarin, Dwarven Smith}} and {{Card|Ottar, Man of Laketown}}, as long as they don't just use their exertion ability the turn they come into play.

''In this section, describe:''


Like all Gollums, he can soak [[archery]] wounds for other minions with his high vitality. However, playing him solo against an Archery deck will mean he'll die without doing anything.

* [[Isengard Orcs]]. {{C|Isengard}} decks with cards like {{Card|Isengard Servant}}, {{Card|Isengard Plodder}}, and {{Card|The Trees Are Strong}} can finish off companions after Nasty Treacherous Creature exerts them.
* ''List friendly cards that work well with this card''
* [[Direct Wounding]] strategies in general. The timing isn't ideal for direct wounding that doesn't happen in the Regroup phase, since it can't finish anyone off and the opponent gets a chance to heal in their [[Fellowship Phase]], but more wounds are more wounds.

* Allies that exert to use their ability and can't easily be healed, like {{Card|Thrarin, Dwarven Smith}} and {{Card|Ottar, Man of Laketown}}. Most {{C|Shire}} or {{C|Elven}} ally decks can heal their allies easily, however.
