Halfling Slinger - these halflings are distant archers that throw rocks at you and your horde.They are the most common type which will make huge appearances throughout the wild. Halfling Swordsman - these halflings are the armed force that can quickly take down several minions in medium groups of 6-8.Although they are pointed towards the fact that they went extinct in overlord 2. Some are likely trapped in half-ling abysses while others moved to the edges of empire heartland outskirts next nearby to the safe parts of the golden hills. For now, the ultimate fate of the halflings of Mellow Hills remains unknown. The only trace left of them are the homes that they lived in. Gnarl also mentions that the local survivors of the Great Cataclysm drove out the remaining halflings from their own lands, due to the hatred of magical beings (which was brought on by the Great Cataclysm). Jinks could be possibly the grandfather of Melvin.ĭuring the Great Cataclysm, most of the halflings of the Mellow Hills were wiped out by the great explosion and the subsequent magical plague. In this game they have a different leader named Jinks who is a crazed hafling that is secretly plotting against castle Gromgard. The Halfling Kindred wee ultimately vanquished when Silas Silvanus was slain. Later on, the Overlord also meets the former Kindred halfling, Gordon the Ghost. However, one of the halflings, Whispering Wallace tells the minions (and through them, the Overlord) about the recent recruitment done by the Kindred. The Halflings re-appeared in Overlord: Minions, where most of the halflings encountered are hostile to the Overlord and his servants. The halflings' domination of the village of Spree came to an end with the rise of the Third Overlord. They also had a leader in the self-proclaimed Halfling king, Melvin Underbelly. If Halflings can get what they want (food and wealth) without fighting, they will do so, but if it's more advantageous to robbing and killing their opposition, then so be it.ĭuring the events of Overlord, the halflings of Mellow Hills constantly harassed the citizens of Spree, and kept many of the villagers in work camps in order to grow more food for themselves. Halflings are not very intelligent creatures, but instead of cunning or intrigue, halflings are straightforward, being wholly untroubled by such things as morality or worries over questions of good or evil. Any foodstuff not devoured immediately is transported to their homes to be consumed together with their families. In this manner, halfling parties resupply on the move, killing any who are foolish enough to stay to defend their homes, and then devouring all the livestock and anything else that looks vaguely edible. The sound of a Halfling raiding party on the march is not a welcome one, for they will attack and plunder any settlement they come across. Halflings are robbers and marauders of the first degree who mercilessly plunder human farms and villages in search of weapons, armors, slaves and, above all, food. Despite this, the Halflings usually are seen by the other races, particularly humans, as nothing more than cooks or thieves -or cooks and thieves- and with good reason. Probably they reproduce with the human females they kidnapped from farms and villages.īeing a rural folk, even in their towns, the Halflings are earthy types who enjoy good food, strong drink, joyful music and a good smoke. There is no evidence of the existence of female halflings.
Although halflings had an affinity for collecting valuables, they did not prefer to wear these on their person, instead preferring more comfortable clothing. All halflings are also undeniably fat, with huge, bulging guts (an halfling with a large gut is seen as important and wealthy, for he has obviously eaten well to ensure such impressive girth). All male halflings are incapable of growing true beards, though many have long sideburns.
In addition, their feet are covered in coarse hair. Most halflings have dark hair, white eyes, five fingers on each hand, but only four toes on each foot. In many ways, halflings resemble small humans and usually have the same proportions as the typical human adult.
A race roughly half a man’s size that has always seemed to be wherever mankind has gone.
