===Origin===
Dwarfs, also pluralized as dwarves due to the influence of the writings of J. R. R. Tolkien, are a class of beings in the folklore of Germany, Scandinavia, and Iceland. Their characteristics vary wildly.

In Germany, dwarfs (''{{Lang|de|Zwerge}}'') feature prominently in several Middle High German epics. The most notable dwarf is [[Alberich]].

In Old Norse, dwarfs are called ''[[Duergar|dvergar]]''. Norse sagas tell of dwarfs as living in the mountains and being skilled craftsmen.

Unlike [[elf|elves]], there is little attestation of dwarfs as a folkloric being in England or Scotland; glossaries equated the Old English word with the Latin ''nanus'', ''pumilus'', and ''pygmeus''.<ref>{{Cite Web|url=[https://www.oed.com/dictionary/dwarf_n dwarf, n. & adj. meanings, etymology and more]|site=Oxford English Dictionary|retrieved=May 31, 2025}}</ref> However, the word appears occasionally in relation to diseases, which has been interpreted as the dwarfs being entities which cause disease. After the Old English period, the word is mainly used to refer to people of short stature.

A pair of dwarven blacksmiths can be found in [[Old Akasaka]]. On the neutral route, when [[Masakado's Sword]] breaks in order to give [[Aleph]] access to [[Keter Castle]], he can take the blade to them, where the dwarves will excitedly repair it. The repair takes multiple moon cycles, and the dwarves will chastise him for his impatience if he returns before the sword is ready.

===Design===
Fuxi's design matches the description seen in the ''Classic of Mountains and Seas'', with the sword it carries likely being derived from its wartime connotations.

|smt4=An ominous bird of Chinese lore. Its name is derived from the sound it makes when it cries. Note it has no relation to Fu Xi the emperor/god, which is spelled differently in Chinese.

It appears in the Xishan Jing chapter of the book Shan Hai Jing. It has the body of a rooster and the head of a human with a cockscomb and pointed ears. The appearance of a Fuxi is a bad omen, a sign that war is about to break out.
