[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Whilst under the dizzying influence of several large ales, Gandalf abandoned secrecy and casually explained to Theoden and his Men about the Quest of the Ring. The Rohirrim were confused as to what actually was this thing called a 'Hobbit'. The intoxicated Gandalf, in an attempt to demonstrate, accidentally turns the soldier Hama into a Hobbit. He is unable to turn him back into a Man.

Hama was captured by the servants of the Dark Lord Sauron whilst the entire army of Rohan were at Helm's Deep. He was put cruelly to death. Gandalf never did find out what had happened to Hama.
