Best Answer

On the third day of the journey after they left Beorn's home on the way to Mirkwood, as the light faded Bilbo thought he saw away to the right, or to the left, the shadowy form of a great bear prowling along in the same direction. This was Beorn in his bear-form, following the Company to ensure his ponies were safe and treated respectfully.

What influence did the Took genes have on Bilbo Baggins?

Why does Thorin give Bilbo a coat of Mithril?

Because during the unexpected party, Thorin promised Bilbo 1/14th payment of the treasure in return for Bilbo's services as a 'thief'. Though Bilbo did not do much in the way of being a thief, he did save the dwarves from Thranduil, as well as help them gain entrance into the mountain. They also wanted him on the journey because it would have been unlucky to take on their journey with 13 members. At the end of their adventures, Bilbo had obviously earned his 1/14th share, so Thorin fulfilled his promise and sent Bilbo home with a chest of treasure (though it is hinted later on in LotR that Bilbo ended up receiving more).


Why does Thorin give Bilbo one fourteenth of his treasure?

That was the agreement when they hired Bilbo to go with them as a burglar. Bilbo carried the letter with him throughout the journey: Terms: cash on delivery, up to and not exceeding one fourteenth of total profits (if any); all traveling expenses guaranteed in any event; funeral expenses to be defrayed by us or our representatives, if occasion arises and the matter is not otherwise arranged for.
