Halflings are level 1 neutral creatures recruited from the Thatched Hut.
"Armed with sling and stone, halflings have found a harsh existence in Antagrich. Driven from their homes by the Kreegans, halflings have been scattered to the winds. These noble fighters take refuge in the earth and have an uncanny sense of luck." AB manual
Their cost is 40 
, but they are free when recruited from a Thatched Hut. The price only matters if they appear at a Refugee Camp.
Special ability
The positive luck ability of halflings can be affected by Hourglass of the Evil Hour or Cursed Ground magical terrain only. Their luck cannot be decreased below +1 by any other luck modifier (including luck-decreasing artifacts and Fields of Glory magical terrain in Horn of the Abyss ).
Halflings are unable to get luck unless being commanded by a hero, like all the other neutral creatures, despite the game saying that they have +1 luck (fixed in Horn of the Abyss ).
Appearance
Halflings were added in Armageddon's Blade so there are no Halflings or Thatched Huts in Restoration of Erathia.
Horn of the Abyss
- In Horn of the Abyss the shadow of Halfling's adventure map image was fixed:
- In the future, Halflings are planned to be the level 1 unupgraded unit of Factory, and will no longer belong to the neutral faction. Accordingly, their native terrain will change to Wasteland.
