How to spot a Hobbit



This is your typical Hobbit. This one seems to be stealthily seated in the lazy boy, people around don't even notice. This particular Hobbit's name is Benjamin Clonchkin son of Gaffer Clonchkin.

Hobbits are simple folk. Small people with hairy feet, they are not cut out for adventure and prefer to laze about and eat (and smoke and drink in Benjamins case).

Hobbit's live in holes (suncrest is basically a hole). No going upstairs for the hobbit: bedrooms, bathrooms, cellars, pantries (lots of these), wardrobes (he had whole rooms devoted to clothes), kitchens, dining-rooms, all were on the same floor, and indeed on the same passage.

Humans will scarcely catch a glipse of a hobbit. They can hear humans from a mile away, and scurry off into some hole. To you and me, their footsteps would be like that of a mouse or rabbit, or something of the sort.


They are curious creatures.

Very curious indeed.
