Dwarves are small humanoid creatures that live in the magical realm issued from Germanic mythology. They first appear as a cameo in "Nobody's Fu" and make another short appearance in "Magic Enemy #1" (both in Season 2), but never take on a large role in the series.
Background[]
Physical Description[]
Dwarves, as their name implies, are very short creatures. In general, they do not stand taller than the waist of an average teenager. They have a greyish skin color and pointed ears. They usually wear tunics (for males) or robes (for females), metal or leather arm bracers, belts, fur boots, and sometimes pauldrons. Dwarves always wear a metal horned helmet on their heads.
Life in the Magical World[]
Because Dwarves are seldom seen in the series, their magical powers are unknown. They are usually associated with mining, smithing, and crafting in Norse mythology, which is most probably the same case for the series. They seem to get along well with other magical creatures.
Trivia[]
- In "Nobody's Fu", a Dwarf was one of the four judges for Fu Dog's magical guardian permit exam.
- In modern popular culture, the most famous Dwarf is Gimli from the "Lord of the Rings trilogy, though Snow White's Seven Dwarves are certainly well-recognized around the world.
- The child coal miners who worked in 18th-19th Century Germany were called "dwarves." Their growth was often stunted because of a lack of proper food, and they often became hunchbacked as they worked in the mines.
