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 Tooks were an important Hobbit clan or dynasty who came from Tuckborough and were the hereditary Thains of the Shire, a kind of figurehead princely family among Hobbits.

The oldest hobbit on record was from who's lineage?

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.


What is the name of the main character of the The Hobbit?

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.


What is it about adventures that first awakes Bilbo's Tookish side?

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.


Why did Bilbo leave the shire to go on the adventure?
