His adventurous side
the 'Tooks' are his relatives, who I imagine were not like other hobbits, as they were adventurous and didn't just stay at home
According to the book the Tookish side of him was wearing off, and when he found them gone with a mess for him to clean up, he was relieved, although slightly disappointed, due to his Tookishness. However, when Gandalf forced him to come along without a hat or coat or kerchief, he was rather put out, and not at all happy with wearing Dwalin's oversized cloak and hood.
There is no one called 'Tookish'. 'Took' is a Hobbit family/clan name, a clan known for being more adventurous than others. To be called 'Tookish' it generally means that a Hobbit is descended from Tooks (ie, Bilbo Baggins, from his mother Belladonna Took) and feeling the call of adventure.
The response was: Fili and Kili looked uncomfortable and stood on One leg, but the others made no pretence of offering - except old Balin. the look-out man, who was rather fond The Hobbit. He said he would come inside at least and perhaps a bit of the way too, really to call for help if necessary.Fili and Kili were embarrassed but did not offer to go. The rest of the group, save Balin, did not even make a pretense of embarrassment and were fine with Bilbo going in alone. Balin offered to go inside a little way and call for help if needed.
Smaug wasn't exactly hiding. He was laying in the main chambers in the heart of the mountain. Bilbo just went straight down the tunnel from the "side porch".
Frodo Baggins is the main hobbit character, due to the fact that the greatest burden is placed on him. There is a lot of discussion about who the hero is in The Lord of the Rings. Many believe that Sam is the hero, the one who represents every man. In The Fellowship of the Ring, Frodo is definitely the main hobbit, as we hear mostly his thoughts and feelings. The same goes in the Two Towers. However, Sam is the main hobbit in the Return of the King, as he is the only one left to continue the quest and he saves Frodo and things are seen from his point of view.
As much as he dreaded it, his "Tookish side" kicked in and he wanted to go.
Because Gandalf asked him to go, the dwarves needed a good burglar, and the whole thing aroused his Tookish side, and so he finally ended up going.

Bilbo is the oldest Hobbit at the age of 131 when he left for Valinor at the end of The Lord of the Rings. He is the grandson of Gerontius "the Old" Took, who was 130 when he died. The Tookish heritage brings out Bilbo's adventurous side, becasue the Tooks were more adventurous than other hobbits.
In J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit," "Tookish" refers to traits associated with the Took family, particularly the character Bilbo Baggins's maternal relatives. The Tooks are known for their adventurous spirit and love of exploration, contrasting with the more conservative and home-loving nature of the Baggins family. When Bilbo exhibits Tookish tendencies, it suggests he is drawn to adventure and curiosity, despite his initial reluctance to leave his comfortable hobbit hole. This duality plays a crucial role in his character development throughout the story.
'Tookish' means to have the traits associated with the Hobbit 'Took' family or clan. They are known to be unusually adventurous for Hobbits, which is what they will refer to as 'Tookish' behaviour. Both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins had Took mothers.

Since Bilbo didn't have any siblings, he didn't have any nephews. Frodo is definitely a relative ... Frodo's mother is Bilbo's first cousin (on his mother's side), and Frodo's father is Bilbo's second cousin (on his father's side), so Frodo is, as the book says, "[Bilbo's] first AND second cousin, once removed either way".
The main idea of "The Hobbit" is Bilbo finding an adventurous side of himself that he got from his mother, Took's side.

Thorin Oakenshield left a note for Bilbo Baggins on the mantelpiece of his home, Bag End, in the Shire. The note was meant to inform Bilbo of his involvement in the quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain and the treasure guarded by Smaug. It expressed Thorin's hope that Bilbo would join them on their adventure. This moment highlights Bilbo's unexpected role in the quest and sets the stage for his journey.
Dwarves had a bad habit of lusting after gold and treasure. Bilbo felt the desire burning in his heart when he saw the mounds of treasure in front of him.
