I think it's a race from the Dragonlance setting of D&D.
Playability > verisimilitude.

Not really feeling it as a Shadowrun Race.  Shadowrun metatype varients tend, for the most part, to be based around real world mythology.
Perception molds reality
Change perception and reality will follow

Kender contradict Darwinism !
They will never survive (not even 1 Week) in the Dystopia of Shadowrun

Ohhh, why is Your Comlink in my Pocket?
Why're you so angry, its only fun Nohhhh,Please don't
*Sound of a tiny Neck snapping*....)
They're a big Nuisance(in a way worse than Ghouls)
Hobbits are something diifferent though!
They could adapt .I'm playing two different Hobbits myself

No...no they don't. Kill it with fire, unload with that full-auto Panther someone came up with on the corpse, and follow it up with launching what's left into the sun.

Something that needs to be killed with fire on sight.

Feck +1, no Feck that +10 My Stream of Conciousness was OmNomNomNomTurkeyandPorkPatesandwich3daystillpaydaycheerleadersis5theditionoutyet?catwantsmysandwichbribecatOmNomNomForumsthenMinecraftkylieminongue KENDER KILL IT WITH FIRE NOW

Kill the Kender because being a Dick at a gaming table isn`t "getting into character" its spotlight hogging mental masturbation that pisses off the rest of the players. Granted YMMV and comic relief characters may have added a lot of happy stories and memories to you and your friends evenings and if so I appologise from the bottom of my black scaly heart. Perhaps it`s just that the very few players I have met who gravitate toward Kender seem to be the same ones that play "funny" Malkavians.
An Awful lot of people believe a lot of very strange things indeed for no valid reason I can see. They can`t all be right but it is quite likely they all can be very wrong.

They're not as bad as Kender. A Gully Dwarf is just a Dwarf that's rather unintelligent and lacking in hygiene.

If someone wanted to play a kender or a gully dwarf in a game I was running, or playing in, I would say, "Hell NO.  Play a lesbian elf stripper ninja or a quad-armed fomori changeling with astral hazing, like a normal player."

So, basically dwarven neckbeards.
