Halflings are a race of short & gluttonous humanoid creatures. Like humans they have five fingers on each hand, but only four toes on each foot. In addition, their feet are covered in coarse hair. They inhabit several domains, Mellow Hills and Briarthorn Burrows among them. They live in small homes with round doors, built partially underground, which usually have grass roofs.
Overlord
During the events of Overlord, the halflings of Mellow Hills constantly harassed the citizens of Spree, and kept many of the villagers in work camps in order to grow more food for themselves. They also had a leader in the self-proclaimed Halfling king, Melvin Underbelly.
The halflings' domination of the village of Spree came to an end with the rise of the Third Overlord.
Overlord: Minions
The Halflings re-appeared in Overlord: Minions, where most of the halflings encountered are hostile to the Overlord and his servants. However, one of the halflings, Whispering Wallace tells the minions (and through them, the Overlord) about the recent recruitment done by the Kindred. Later on, the Overlord also meets the former Kindred halfling, Gordon the Ghost.
The Halfling Kindred wee ultimately vanquished when Silas Silvanus was slain.
Overlord: Dark Legend
(Requires more information)
Overlord 2
During the Great Cataclysm, most of the halfings of Mellow Hills were wiped out by the explosion and magical plague. Gnarl also mentions that the local survivors of the Great Cataclysm drove out the remaining halflings from their own lands, due to the hatred of magical beings brought on by the Cataclysm. The only trace left of them are the homes that they lived in. The ultimate fate of the halflings of Mellow Hills is unknown.

- Halflings are likely modelled after the Hobbits from The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien. Hobbits in the LOTR universe are otherwise known as Halflings.
