ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Halfling

Okay, kiddo! So, a halfling is a type of creature you might find in stories or games. They're smaller than humans and have pointy ears, and they're usually very friendly and curious.

Imagine if you had a friend who was very small, only about the size of a child's toy, but they had all the same body parts as you, just tiny versions. That's kind of what a halfling is like.

They're called halflings because they're about half the size of a normal human. But even though they're small, they're still very capable and can be just as strong and brave as anyone else. In fact, because they're so small and quick, they're very good at sneaking around and avoiding danger.

Sometimes, halflings like to live in cozy little houses built into hills or near rivers, and they enjoy the simple things in life like good food and good company. They're also very loyal to their friends, and will do anything to protect them.

So, that's what a halfling is, in a nutshell! A friendly, curious, and capable little creature who likes to live near nature and enjoy the simple things in life.
