Havlins

Havlins are an intelligent humanoid species who play a crucial role in the webcomic "Alfie". (Which stars the character Alfie.)

PHYSICAL ASPECTS

Havlins shown so far in the story appear to average between 3' 6" high and 4' high, judging by comparison with human characters. Their overall forms and their facial features are very closely aligned with human ideas of physical attractiveness - so much so that havlins and humans can and do find themselves sexually attracted to members of the other species. The configurations of havlin genitalia are compatible with human, so the two species can satisfactorily mate, although they cannot interbreed.

Havlins are physically symmetrical, except in some cases they exhibit a bit of achondroplastic dwarfism (body parts being out of proportion). The breasts and buttocks of the females, and the heads of both males and females, often appear larger in relation to the torsos than the human norm. The legs of the females also appear somewhat out of proportion, with broader thighs and shorter calves, than human norms. Female havlins very often have pronounced 'hourglass' shapes, with waists much narrower than their shoulders and hips. All havlins have long, pointed ears shaped much like the ears of elves and goats. Those ears are also mobile and can wag noticeably when the owner is excited.

Many readers have noted that havlins are similar in appearance, and in their living arrangements, to Tolkien's hobbits, but there are significant physical differences. Most noticeable is the fact that, unlike hobbits, havlins have small feet that are not hairy. Havlins wear footgear very much like human boots and shoes.
