Editing Halfling (section)

=Notable Halflings=
* Bilbo Baggins, of Tolkien's Middle Earth. The original [[Hobbits|Hobbit]], the one that started it all.
** Frodo Baggins, Bilbo's cousin and adopted heir. Was involved in the theft of and willful destruction of property (specifically jewelry) and murder; as the owner, Sauron, died of mental anguish. No legal action taken. Fled the country to avoid prosecution. Final fate unknown.
** Samwise Gamgee, accomplice to Baggins in aforementioned theft, and hunting of endangered mammoth spider wildlife. After a generous donation of the Baggins estates by Frodo to his election campaign, he became mayor of the Shire. This was quickly followed by a name change to "Samwise Gardner" and coincidental loss of any records of any of his potential misdemeanors. Also left the country after a comfortable 7 terms as mayor, only interrupted by one state visit.
** Bullroarer Took, Great-Great-Great-Great Uncle of Bilbo Baggins. Most notable for his ability to ride a real horse and for inventing [[golf]] with a rabbit hole, a (non-golf) club, and the head of a goblin general while whacking it off his shoulders mid-battle.
* Belkar Bitterleaf, from Rich Burlew's Order of the Stick. Arguable, as Belkar is so fucking, eye-bleedingly awesome that he may, in fact, be a dorf. ("I am a sexy shoeless god of war!")
* Olive Ruskettle, a borderline [[Chaotic Stupid]] female halfling thief whose biggest claims to fame are stealing the name/reputation of a bard despite being "too chaotic to become a bard(!)" and helping to free the [[Saurial]]s from [[Moander]], in that order.
* Mazzy Fentan of [[Baldur's Gate]] fame, halfling quasi-paladin of justice who can and will break both your legs if you call her "cute."
* Montaron of [[Baldur's Gate]], halfling fighter/thief, evil aligned, sent in Sword Coast with necromancer Xzar by Zhentarim.
* <s>Tasslehoff Burrfoot, beloved happy-go-lucky companion to</s>{{BLAM}} fuck [[kender]]s. Fuck them in the ear.
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_floresiensis#Discovery Flo] is not a fantasy character, but the nickname for the first fossil of ''Homo floresiensis'' that was discovered. The discoverers wanted to call them ''Homo hobbitus'', but the Tolkien estate objected.  Archaeologists still call them "hobbits" behind the Tolkien estate's back, though. Flo was determined to be 30 years old and yet only barely taller than three feet.

That's more or less it. I mean, they're hardly the go-getters of heroic fantasy. Though admittedly sometimes they get involved in major events, if only because they wander into the planning tent in search of more food.
