    Default Dark halfling

    Do these have a name like, say Drow for dark elf, duergar for dark dwarf, etc?

    To my knowledge, Deep Halflings exist only in the 3rd edition monster manual for D&D, with no other name given for them. I don't think they have ever been used in any published products.

    But I think there was also a race of pure evil halflings in Book of Vile Darkness, also for D&D 3rd edition.
    We are not standing on the shoulders of giants, but on very tall tower of other dwarves.

    Book of Vile Darkness: Jerrens, a nomad halfling group that in order to survive the attacks of goblins and other enemies started using corrupted magic and practicing human sacrifices.
    Aside from this fluff part, though, they are almost the same as normal halflings, even in terms of mechanics.

    Deep Halflings are on the SRD. Though they're just stuck with Deep I think.

    In older versions of D&D, there were 3 halfling subraces. The normal ones (Lightfoot), the ones more similiar to elves (Tallfellow), and the ones more similiar to dwarves (Stouts).

    So deep halflings are Stouts.

    Of course it was. Just like how halflings were originally called Hobbits in the rules, treants were ents, and balor demons were balrogs.
