A humanoid fantasy people created by Tolkien who's primary identifying characteristics are that they are short, have hairy feet and enjoy drinking, eating, and smoking. Hobbits are country-dwelling halflings who form farming communities consisting mostly of their race. While hobbits do form self-sustaining communities, they are known to indulge in laziness, taking many naps.
Hobbits are essentially rural Englishmen, and they are portrayed by Tolkien as decent, hard-working folk. This may have something to do with the fact that Tolkien was an Englishman, and loved nature and the countryside.
