Gentle and close to nature, hobbits are almost child like. Living off of the land, hobbits enjoy nature and the simple pleasures of live. These furry footed people dwell deep in the sides of hills in their hobbit holes and enjoy spending the day eating, drinking, smoking, gardening and storytelling. And of course have many stories to tell because they live an average of 100 years.
They are little people, smaller that dwarves and no more than four feet tall. Since they are much smaller than other races, especially humans or the big folk, hobbits tend to avoid them. Because of their furry feet, hobbits seldom wore shoes and the soles of their feet are tough and leathery. They have curly hair on both their heads and feet.
Their foot-hair is coarser than their head-hair and allows them to walk comfortably without shoes. The hair atop their heads tends to be far softer, and varies, commonly, from shades of brown, both dark and light, to red to even blond. Eye color may range anywhere from brown to hazel to blue and green. The eyes of Hobbits are known for being full of mirth and laughter.
The name Hobbit probably originated from holbytla which means hole buuilder. This name perfectly describes hobbits because of their choice of dwellling. Hobbit holes, although under the ground, and warm and cozy and surprisingly clean. Hobbits dont generally like to leave their homes and travel and they arent very fond of going on adventures.
