Peregrin Took (TA 2990-?), better known to his friends as Pippin, was a Hobbit, and one of Frodo Baggins's youngest but best friends.

The hair on his head and his feet (which are exceptionally hairy, even for a Hobbit) was almost golden and curly. At the beginning of Quest of the Ring he was smaller than the rest of the Hobbits because he was the youngest.
