Halflings
Halflings, or simply 'flings are generally small, well-spirited people, that's how they've been portrayed in every single setting ever except for dark sun, and it'll probably stay that way. Small, dodgy(stunty and right stuff), they generally favour rogue classes, though halfling paladins of arvoreen are not to be underestimated! Halflings typically love food and beer and sex, real hedonistic small bastards. Adult female halflings are also known as legal lolis.
Halflings are really a shameless ripoff of Tolkien's Hobbits, who are also referred to as 'halflings' by humans.
