Profile

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 (Zwerge) feature prominently in several Middle High German epics. The most notable dwarf is Alberich.

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

Unlike 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.[1] 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.

Game Appearances

Shin Megami Tensei II

A pair of dwarven blacksmiths can be found in Old Akasaka. On the neutral route, when Masakado's Katana 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.
