Kithkin are quick and agile race of small humanoids. They are about four-and-a-half feet tall; their distinguishing characteristics are their brown hair, large noses, and feet covered in light hair. Kithkin place great importance in community and are highly cooperative in battle, and are known for their simplicity and forthrightness. Kithkin cards typically make use of various evasion abilities, such as avoiding more powerful creatures or tapping potential blockers.
The kithkin of Dominaria once lived in an idyllic country called Amrou Haven, but after the Apocalypse, their home was destroyed and they were forced into exile.
Originally they were named hobbits, as can be seen in their hairy feet, but the name was changed to avoid conflict with J. R. R. Tolkien's estate.[1] Kithkin are a little taller than hobbits, though, nor do they frequently go barefoot, enjoy pipeweed, or place as much pride in their gardening skills as hobbits.
