The origin of Hobbits

[Turgon_of_Gondolin]

I know that The elves and men were created by Eru himself and that the Dwarves were created by one of the Valar. I forget who.
But who created the hobbits?

A mortal race almost certainly related to Men, though their origins are unknown. smilies/eek.gif

Just to wrap up all ends, it was Aule who created the dwarves. Just in case anyone was wondering.. smilies/biggrin.gif
