Bobbits

The diminutive Bobbits were once counted alongside the races of Dwarves and Elves as familiar sights in old Sosaria. Although somewhat slower to act than their brethren, they possessed a great deal of natural insight, often leading them down more contemplative career paths.

Bobbits vanished from the lands of Sosaria after Ultima III, apparently victims of the massive cataclysm that forever altered the landscape.

Trivia

 * Bobbits were a playable race in the first three Ultima games.
 * Bobbits were clearly inspired by Hobbits, from the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.
