Harfoot-One of the three breeds or clans of Hobbits. They were the 'most normal and representative variety of Hobbit, and far the most numerous...the most inclined to settle in one place.' Harfoots also maintained the archaic habit of dwelling in burrows (or smials) for longer than other Hobbits. Most Shire-hobbits were of Harfoot stock.
