hobbits

Hobbits (also known as Halflings) stand about half the human height but smaller than the bearded dwarves- Hobbits don't have beards. There is little or no magic about them except the ordinary everday sort which helps them to dissapear quietly and quickly when people come along. They are a little big in the stomach and dress in bright colours (green and yellow are most common). Hobbits don't wear shoes because their feet grow naturally leathery soles. They have thick, warm, curly brown hair like stuff on their heads. They have long "clever" brown fingers, good-natured faces, and deep "fruity" laughs. They are known to move very swiftly and take much pride in that. Hobbits live up to about 100 years old going up to 130 years old. Another thing about hobbits is that they live in houses dug into the ground that they built. Hobbits also like to eat alot so they eat around 6 meals a day when possible.
