Tolkien creature like Frodo (6)

I believe the answer is:

hobbit

(Other definitions for hobbit that I've seen before include "Tolkien's halfling" , "The Baggins's race" , "One of a race created by JRR Tolkien" , "Tolkien character" , "Tolkien's hairy-footed creature" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
