Everybody ready for my most cursed Discworld theory? Brace yourselves:

Nobby Nobbs is a Hobbit.

Evidence: All those jokes about not thinking he's human, he has a signed note from the Patrician saying he is, etc.

He disappears easily and turns up in unexpected places.

Known for making small items of value disappear.

Is shorter than average, I believe he's compared to one of the dwarves at one point.

Enjoys folk dancing.

Anyway, hobbits are the only "fantasy" race that don't appear on the Discworld at all (though a Gollum-like creature does interact with the witches at one point). I'm sure it's because the word is still firmly under copywrite.

But Nobby Nobbs being a hobbit is super funny when you think about it.

They may be called the Palace Guard, the City Guard, or the Patrol. Whatever the name, their purpose in any work of heroic fantasy is identical: it is, round about Chapter Three (or ten minutes into the film) to rush into the room, attack the hero one at a time, and be slaughtered. No one ever asks them if they want to.

This book is dedicated to those fine men.
