The halfling is a fictional race (with many subraces) found in the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game. Halflings are similar to humans, but about half their size. The creature was called a "hobbit" in the earliest edition of the game, but TSR changed the name to "halfling" after the Tolkien Estate sent a cease and desist.
