Hobbits

Hobbits are much smaller than Men, even smaller than Dwarves, and might be mistaken for children of Men by those who do not know of their existence. They have never been warlike, but for all their gentle appearance they are surprisingly tough, and difficult to intimidate or kill. A merry folk, Hobbits possess a cheerful spirit and a friendliness that makes them good companions.
Hobbits do not abandon their comfortable lives easily, but when they do they usually wait for their coming of age at 33. A particularly reckless fellow might feel the call to adventure when in their tweens, as Hobbits call their twenties. When pushed to resort to weapons, Hobbits choose short swords and hunting bows, which they can shoot with uncanny precision.

LANGUAGES AND TYPICAL NAMES
Hobbits speak only the Common Speech, preserving the use of a few words and names of their own forgotten tongue. Names are composed of a first name and a family name. First names for men are usually simple and short, with women being often given names of flowers or precious stones, but among the older families a custom survives of giving more heroic and high-sounding names, whose origin can be traced back to a time before the Shire.
