Cards that mention "unbound companions" are generally phrased that way to exclude the Ring-bearer from their effects. Cards that mention "unbound Hobbits" are generally meant to affect [[Merry]] and [[Pippin]] specifically. However, starting with the [[Shadows]] set, other unbound Hobbit companions are introduced, like {{Card|Farmer Maggot, Hobbit of the Marish}} and {{Card|Fredegar Bolger, Fatty}}.

Unbound is an unloaded keyword. It's unusual because it isn't printed on any cards: instead, all companions that are not Ring-bound are unbound.

The Ring-bearer is always Ring-bound, even if it doesn't say so on their card. (This is only relevant with the alternate Ring-bearers, first introduced in Reflections.)

Only companions are unbound. Allies and minions can never be Ring-bound or unbound.
