Harfoot

Harfoots were one of the three breeds of Hobbits. The Harfoots were the most common and typical of the kinds.

Characteristics

They were shorter and smaller than the other breeds, browner of skin, had no beards, and did not wear any footwear; Their hands and feet were neat and nimble. They liked highlands and hillsides, and lived in holes they called smials, a habit which they long preserved. They were accustomed to settle in one place longer.

The Harfoots of the Shire were on very friendly terms with the Dwarves, who travelled through the High Pass on the Great Road.
