A Hobbit
Wanna know what a hobbit looks like?
- Fairy rabbit: fattish in the stomach, short in the leg. A round, jovial face; ears only slightly pointed and ‘elvish’; hair short and curling (brown). Ankles that is extremely small.
- Are very shy creatures, they are adept with slings and throwing stones.
- Hobbits can sometimes live for up to 130 years, although their average life expectancy is 100 years. The time at which a young Hobbit “comes of age” is 33.
- Hobbits enjoy at least seven meals a day, not including snacks, when they can get them – breakfast, (arguably) second breakfast, elevenses, luncheon, tea, dinner and later, supper. They like simple food such as bread, meat, potatoes, and cheese, have a passion for mushrooms, and also like to drink ale. Hobbits also enjoy an ancient variety of tobacco, which they referred to as “pipe-weed”, something that can be attributed mostly to their love of gardening and herb-lore.
- The Hobbits of the Shire developed the custom of giving away gifts on their birthdays instead of receiving them. They use the term mathom for old and assorted objects, which are invariably given as presents many times over or are stored in a museum.
- Some Hobbits live in “hobbit-holes”, which were the original places where they dwelt underground. They were found in hillsides, downs, and banks. By the late Third Age, they were replaced by brick and wood houses.
