Bilbo, Frodo, Samwise, Pippen, and Merry. Are they Fallohides, harfoots, or stoors?
By the end of the Third Age there had been considerable mixing between the three groups of hobbits, so "all of them" is likely the most correct answer.Quote:

Bilbo, Frodo, Merry, and Pippin are all part Took and/or Brandybuck (and all related to each other one way or the other), so they would likely all have some Fallohid characteristics.
Sam's ancestry we know less about, but he is probably mainly harfoot.
