When it comes to the fantasy genre, no author is more well-known than J.R.R. Tolkien. The legendary writer changed the course of fiction when he released The Hobbit in 1937, setting the stage for a trilogy that is even more well-known: The Lord of the Rings.At the center of these two narratives is a pair of deceiving heroes. Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, the protagonists of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, respectively, are both brave adventurers hailing from the Shire, and as Hobbits, they come from a much different culture than the Dwarves, Elves, Men, and Orcs that they encounter on their journeys. However, despite their status as the main characters of Tolkien’s flagship series, it’s easy to miss to just how unique the Hobbits truly are.Rather than building above-ground homes that could easily be seen and pillaged by foreign invaders, almost all the Hobbits in both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings live in quaint, subterranean dwellings known as hobbit-holes. These residencies are much less fantastical than some seen in Middle-earth, but they’re the perfect physical representation of the Hobbits’ general demeanor.
