DwarfA dwarf is a very small human with disproportional features. This in contrast to a midget, which is a small human with propoptional features. Technically dwarfs and midgets are no taller than 4 feet 10 inches. The term dwarf is the preferred term even for midgets. The politically correct term is "vertically challanged", but this is mostly used in a sarcastic context since it's silly and has way too many syllables. In fantasy fiction and folklore, dwarves are represented as a separate race. They are usually very strong, live in cold, mountainous environments, are good with axes?, and often are involved in mining?, constructing large complexes deep within mountains. |
