Rule of thumb: if it comes from a mythology, or from an author that has been dead for I think over 70 years without the copyright being passed on, it can't be copyrighted; if it was created by a person, the name is copyrighted.

Hobbits were made by Tolkien, that's why game creators made the halflings, which are pretty much the exact same thing with a different name.

I have the impression that vampires were created by an author long ago (but don't quote me on that), yet it's not copyrighted...
