Dwarves Dwarves are small and stout. They easily carry heavy burdens and have great endurance. On average they are 4-5 feet in height. Despite their size they are fierce warriors. Dwarves prefer to live in huge underground cities that are carved into mountains. They are great miners and craftsmen. Many Dwarves are distrustful of Elves. One exception to this was the friendship of Legolas, the elf and Gimli, the dwarf.
