Are Belkar and Hank the only Halflings in OOTS?

[Thanatosia]

Has there been any other halflings in OOTS other then Belkar and Hank (Rogue in Greysky thieves guild)?

There's that crayon hobbit (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0276.html): Serini Toormuck

Edit:
Not to mention there is possibly a whole village (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0125.html)awaiting death.

[Gopher]

Also Frudu and Samwose (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0415.html)

[mikeejimbo]

Prequel book spoiler: And the halfling who gave Eugene his blood oath in SoD. Or was it OOTPCS?

[Watcher]

And the nameless Tavern (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0238.html) NPCs (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0357.html)

[Cracklord]

So yes, yes they are.

[Morty]

And let's not forget the halflings from Belkar's village. Even if they were only mentioned and some of them probably posthumously.

[DBJack]

There are halfings in the bandit camp arc.

[BatRobin]

Halfling with an eye patch that dies in panel three.

[xyzzy]

So yes, yes they are.

Epic win. Pure, unadultered epic win.

No that is a gnome. The feet don't match Bekar's.

[MReav]

OtOoPCs: Random halfing woman that rejects Roy's proposal.

[Maximum Zersk]

No that is a gnome. The feet don't match Bekar's.

Plus, he's wearing a hat that only gnomes seem to wear (As far as we've seen, at least.)

[Katana_Geldar]

Not really (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0081.html)

[badam104172]

the gnomes could be all followers of banjo!

[Berserk Monk]

Frudu and Samwose.

Actually, that's a gnome.

[Acero]

the Ming dudes

[averagejoe]

Also Frudu and Samwose (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0415.html)


Frudu and Samwose.


the Ming dudes

Also, those two halflings that represented Frodo and Sam in that Lord of the Rings gag.

[Nimrod's Son]

Oh yeah, I remember them. Come to think of it, they're probably the only halflings in the whole comic besides Belkar.

[Elan's Modron]

Oh yeah, I remember them. Come to think of it, they're probably the only halflings in the whole comic besides Belkar.

In fact, they ARE Belkar- they're his not-evil opposites.

[Porthos]

In an attempt to actually answer this thread seriously, there was also a random halfling climbing up Mount Celestia (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0493.html).

[Berserk Monk]

In SoD...

...the guy that gave Eugene his Blood Oath of Vengeance was a halfling.

[Katana_Geldar]

So, there's

* Samwose
* Frudu
* Hank
* Tatooist
* Serini

Five halflings, not including Belkar.

Doesn't Tolkein say that a lot of halflings stay at home and don't go on adventures? After all, adventures make you late for your dinner.

[Nimrod's Son]

So, there's

* Samwose

...Plus the other five already mentioned in this thread. :smallwink:

Oh, and another one here (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0611.html).

[Pyron]

...Plus the other five already mentioned in this thread. :smallwink:

Not to mention the Azurites had to get ingredients for Halfling Drop soup from *somewhere*.

EDIT
Wait... now I know what happened to Serini!


Think about it. Soon Kim found out she continued adventuring rather than guarding her gate. Seeing this as dishonorable, he orders her execution and invents a recipe to hid the evidence. :smalltongue:

Even without an in-comic reference I think we could all guess that Belkar had a mother.

[Trixie]

Dear Sir, it is common knowledge that most PC's has a blank piece of paper as point of origin, most of them rarely bothers to record any relatives on it :smalltongue:

[Cleverdan22]

I'm pretty sure the tatoo artist oath giver is a gnome.

Hobbits. Not halflings. (Yes, I know that D&D halflings are based on them, but calling hobbits "halflings" is rude. ...Not that calling D&D halflings a name based on "half the size of a human" is exactly polite, either.)

[Nimrod's Son]

I'm pretty sure the tatoo artist oath giver is a gnome.
Nope, he's a halfling. He's got The Feet.

[Lvl45DM!]

Halflings and hobbits are the same thing, the Rohirrim called them Halflings and Hobyltan interchangably

[Nimrod's Son]

Halflings and hobbits are the same thing, the Rohirrim called them Halflings and Hobyltan interchangably
And white people used to call black people "Negroes", but that doesn't make it okay. :smallwink:

[Katana_Geldar]

But halflings, like hobbits, are supposed to be jolly (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0435.html).

[Lvl45DM!]

{Scrubbed}

[Nimrod's Son]

Negro isnt offensive but the N-word that rhymes with Wigger is!!
"Negro" is archaic; it's not even in use anymore. And the reason for that is because it was deemed offensive, and people stopped using it.

If you were a hobbit, would you want the tall people calling you "halfling" when your species already has a perfectly good name?

[Lvl45DM!]

Hey i was arguing in favour of calling them hobbits it was the guy up there somewhere saying hobbits and halflings are different

[Nimrod's Son]

Nobody said that. Kish just pointed out that when you're talking about LotR, the proper term is "hobbit". "Halfling" is derogatory.

[Lvl45DM!]

Ohhhh
I see
But i still dont think it was meant to be derogatory, more like slang like how the hobbits call humans and elves Big People

[Elan's Modron]

Oh dear gods, stop.

ON TOPIC...

Leftmost humanoid Snarl victim (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0274.html). Granted, he's been dead for quite some time.

[Liwen]

OMG I can't believe you spotted than. MReav, I declare you thread winner.

[Nimrod's Son]

a lot of people are still racist to the bones. :smallfrown:
Yes, but I wasn't talking about those people. It used to be pretty much the default term, now it's rarely used by anyone without some kind of agenda.

[Roland St. Jude]

Sheriff: Seriously? Racial politics? Thread locked for inappropriate topics.
