Merry, a Hobbit, not a man, made the Witch King vulnerable to Eowyn by stabbing him with an ancient magic blade (picked up in the barrow-downs and given to him by Tom Bombadil, which movie-only people didn’t get to see) specifically designed by the smiths of Arnor for the fight against Angmar.
Hobbits on the other hand were in nearly all respects normal Men, but of very short stature. They were called ‘halflings’; but this refers to the normal height of men of Númenórean descent and of the Eldar (especially those of Noldorin descent), which appears to have been about seven of our feet. Their height at the periods concerned was usually more than three feet for men, though very few ever exceeded three foot six; women seldom exceeded three feet.
