Does gollum eat a baby in the books? I don't think he does in the movies. I don't remember that from the books either, but there is more description of what got him kicked out of the town there. I thought he was just stealing stuff and becoming more and more creepy.

He steals and eats orc babies.

Oh right. Does it specify babies, or just smaller ones? I hadn't put that together.

Are there orc babies? The films had a bit where they popped out of a pod-thing fully formed, but I don't remember if that was based on anything in the books

they popped out of a pod-thing fully formed

Weren't those just the Uruk-Hai?
