They are not quite as stocky as the similarly-sized [[Dwarf|dwarves]]. The [[creature type]] was adapted from ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', which in turn took its inspiration from J. R. R. Tolkien's [[Wikipedia:Hobbit|hobbits]]. Asked about halfling becoming a supported creature type, [[Mark Rosewater]] stated that creature types being in ''Adventure in the Forgotten Realms'', doesn’t necessarily mean they’re being added to larger ''Magic''.<ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/654844204903694336/what-does-halfling-becoming-a-supported-creature|title=What does "halfling" becoming a supported creature type mean for Kithkin?|June 24, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/656643299531276288/can-i-get-an-inwhen-on-the-following-creatures|title=If/When on the following creatures from AFR showing up in a conventional Magic expansion?|July 13, 2021}}</ref> In the Tolkien-inspired ''[[The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth]]'' set, [[Wikipedia:Hobbit|hobbits]] were represented with the Halfling type. The Halfling tokens from ''[[Lord of the Rings Commander]]'' are typed as "Tolkien Creatures" as a tribute to [[Wikipedia:J. R. R. Tolkien|J.R.R. Tolkien]].<ref>{{TwitterRef|TheMaverickGal|1666882124601753612|author=Paige, The Untouchable|title=That typeline!! **TOLKIEN** CREATURE - HALFLING!!|date=June 8, 2023}}</ref> ==Notable Halflings== {{columns-list|colwidth=15em| ;D&D *[https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Alora Alora] *[https://scryfall.com/card/clb/230/erinis-gloom-stalker Erinis] *[https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Gretchen_Titchwillow Gretchen Titchwillow] *[https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Mazzy_Fentan Mazzy Fentan] ;The Lord of the Rings *[https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Bilbo_Baggins Bilbo Baggins] *[https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Elanor_(Gardner)_Fairbairn Elanor Gardner] *Farmer Cotton *[https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Frodo_Baggins Frodo Baggins] *The Gaffer *[https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Gollum Gollum (Sméagol)] *[https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Lobelia_Sackville-Baggins Lobelia Sackville-Baggins] *[https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Lotho_Sackville-Baggins Lotho Sackville-Baggins] *[https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Meriadoc_Brandybuck Meriadoc Brandybuck (Merry)] *[https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Peregrin_Took Peregrin Took (Pippin)] *[https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Rosie_Cotton Rosie Cotton] *[https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Samwise_Gamgee Samwise Gamgee (Sam)] *[https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Saradoc_Brandybuck Saradoc Brandybuck] }} ==Tokens== {{Halfling tokens|header=y}} ==Gallery== <gallery> File:Tolkien Creature Halfling.jpg|"Tolkien" Creatures" {{-}} Halfling </gallery> ==References== {{reflist}} {{Creature types|Races}} [[Category:Halflings]] [[Category:Dungeons & Dragons crossover]]
