A hobbit, h, is one of the monsters you will encounter a few floors down in the NetHack dungeon. They are usually - but not always - peaceful for lawful characters.
Hobbits often carry slings, sometimes elven daggers and elven mithril-coats, and rarely gems. Chatting with them prompts them to ask you about the One Ring, a reference to J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy from which this monster is taken.
Encyclopedia entry
Hobbits are an unobtrusive but very ancient people, more
numerous formerly than they are today; for they love peace
and quiet and good tilled earth: a well-ordered and well-
farmed countryside was their favourite haunt. They do not
and did not understand or like machines more complicated
than a forge-bellows, a water-mill, or a handloom, although
they were skillful with tools. Even in ancient days they
were, as a rule, shy of "the Big Folk", as they call us, and
now they avoid us with dismay and are becoming hard to find.
[ The Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R. Tolkien ]
