One of three original divisions of hobbit-kind,along with the Harfoots and Stoors.The Fallohides were the least numerous of the three branches and originally dwelt in the northern parts of Middle-earth.In appearance,Fallohides were taller and slimmer of build than the other Hobbits,with some growing to four feet or more in height.Both their skin and their hair tended to be fair and no Fallohide ever grew a beard.Fallohidish culture was much more open to outside influence than that of the Stoors or Harfoots; they were friendlier with the other races of Middle-earth than their cousins,especially the Elves.Perhaps because of this,they were skilled in both song and speech.While the other two branches of hobbit-kind were pastoral and rustic in nature,the Fallohides retained a hunting tradition and so were naturally bolder and more inquisitive than their relatives but less gifted in the arts of farming and agriculture.
Harfoots :
The smallest and most common of the three original Hobbit-strains,who entered Eriador a century before the Fallohides or Stoors.
Stoors :
One of the three ancient hobbit-kinds,the broadest and heaviest in build.They were the last of three branches of the hobbits to cross the Misty Mountains into Eriador.
