Even Morgoth was tempted by specialness. Hell it’s not that hobbits can’t be tempted, its what tempts them is the simple pleasures of a good life. Frodo and Bilbo weren’t tempted by the power to slay, to protect, or to conquer but to hide. Smeagol with the ring was hiding in a mountain eating a twisted feast and playing a twisted game of riddles.

Even Gandalf the humblest among the Valar sought the wisdom and company of the hobbits.
