Dwarf

Dwarves are intelligent, alchohol dependent humanoid creatures. They are well known for their stout physique and prominent beards, which begin to grow from birth; dwarves are stronger, shorter, stockier, and hairier than the average human. Dwarves tend to live in elaborate fortesses carved out of a mountainside.
