Hobbit
Hobbits are a race of meek, homely people who typically dwell in and around the Shire, favoring homes that are at least partially underground. In this game, hobbits are a Free Peoples race. Frodo, one of the protagonists of Lord of the Rings and the chief Ring-bearer in this game, is a hobbit. With one exception, all hobbits in this game are Shire culture Free Peoples characters.
The sole exception is Ted Sandyman, Chief's Men's Ally (18U75)
, a
Men-culture hobbit minion from Treachery & Deceit. This unusual quality allows the Shadow player to play this minion, then play cards like Fool of a Took! (1R170)
that spot "a Hobbit" against any opponent. Such cards were intended to counter
Shire Hobbit decks, and designed on the presumption that such a character would be one of the Free Peoples' player's companions or allies.
