Dwarves or 'dark elves' are humanoid creatures that live underground. They coat themselves in a mixture of soot and soil whenever they venture onto the surface world, and do not keep clean even in their native warrens. They appear to be shorter than they really are because their bodies are usually hunched low. All dwarves have 'beards' which are really masses of tendrils, sensitive to air flow and temperature changes. This organ allows them to navigate through pitch black chambers and tunnels. Bright light hurts their gimlet eyes.
Dwarves are omnivores. The consume carrion, roots,mushrooms, insects, and all manner of earthy or unclean matter. They brew potent mead from the honey of blind, colorless bees.
Dwarves are believed to grow out of the earth itself, something like the spontaneous generation of maggots or mice. Attempts to create artificial dwarves by the use of specially prepared middens have not yet succeeded.
