also if you want the cliff's notes on Bombadil:
-He's just kinda a dude that has immense power but keeps to himself
-I don't think Tolkien himself even knew what his whole deal was
-The theory I like is that he's one of the Valar (who are one notch higher than Gandalf and Sauron on the kinda god hierarchy)
-In the books, he is met early on and gets the hobbits out of some scrapes in his forest, and gives them some stuff. He also completely no-sells the Ring, seeing through the invisibility and putting it on himself with no positive or negative effects.
-One of the ideas the Council had was to let him keep the Ring, and it was shot down not because he couldn't protect it, but because he would probably not understand why that was important, and lose it somewhere.
-I obviously like the dude but have to admit that leaving him out of the movies didn't change much.

To you I would describe him as the equivalent of a secret boss that has 0 relevance to the plot and looks like a joke, but could absolutely kick the ass of any character in the game if they wanted to
