Characters may attempt to learn more about types of creatures that they may end up fighting, and there are many sources they might check, but not everything they learn is necessarily true. Here are ten bits of misinformation to learn about halflings
- Every single halfling is a crook and a thief; some are merely better than others at feigning honesty.
- Halflings are not a species in their own right, but a type of human that has been stunted by magic.
- Halflings are so fat and live near humans because they like eating human babies.
- Halflings are so small because they are actually the infant form of something much larger.
- Halflings breed like rabbits and they hide dozens of offspring in their underground homes.
- Halflings deal in various recreational pharmaceuticals wherever they are found in other communities, sometimes merely for profit, sometimes to undermine said communities from within.
- Halflings infiltrate other societies, and though they might pretend to be friends, they are loyal to none but their own kind.
- Halflings live underground because they are not made of flesh and blood but of dirt and they prefer to be around the substance they are made of.
- The reasons that halflings always seem so merry and cheerful is because they are always drunk or high.
- What halflings are always smoking in their pipes isn’t tobacco but something much stronger.
