Halfling is a creature subtype introduced for Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms.[1]
Description
Halflings are humanoid creatures similar in shape to humans, but around half their size. They are not quite as stocky as the similarly-sized dwarves. The creature type was adapted from Dungeons & Dragons, which in turn took its inspiration from J. R. R. Tolkien's 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.[2][3]
In the Tolkien-inspired The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth set, 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 J.R.R. Tolkien.[4]
