A member of the Took family from the Lord of the Rings, Atherol was known as one of the rare members of the family to suffer with a genetic defect which left him with drastically below average sized feet. Unfortunately the common belief (although never actually proven as a misconception, but there were some tavern stories that originated from his ex-wife) was that Atherol's small feet also indicated that his manhood had too been cursed with the same affliction as his feet.
