Hobbits

A humanoid fantasy people created by Tolkien who's primarily identifying characteristics are that they are short, have hairy feet and enjoy drinking, eating, and smoking some of that delicious tobacco. 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. Keep this in mind when you read about what happened to the Shire at the end of "Return of the King." That said, they avoid Mary Sue territory as (with a few exceptions) their ambitions ends at a reasonable home with six meals a day and have basically no interest of things outside their collective comfort zone (once they manage to set that up). They might make some superb apple pies and mushroom and beef stew, but they'll never ascend to the stars and they're totally cool with this. This complacency nearly brings them to ruin when they forget that there are some bad motherfuckers outside the Shire, like washed-up wizards who want to strip-mine the Shire purely out of spite. But once properly motivated, they can be a force to contend with.
