-'''Dwarf''' is a race that can be chosen for the player's character in {{DQ10}}.
+'''Dwarf''' is a race that appears frequently in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|series]], being a staple of fantasy media since the mid 20th century.
-After starting out as a [[Human|human]], the player may become this race or any of the other seven races, including [[Dragon (race)|Dragon]], [[Elf]], [[Ogre (race)|Ogre]], [[Puklipo]] or [[Weddie]].
+==Characteristics==
+True to their name, all dwarfs are short of stature. For much of the series the wee folk were depicted as bearded men, though by the time of ''VII'' women and children also appeared. Beginning with ''X'', dwarfs lost the facial hair and were given a Babylonian theme to their clothing and architecture along with green skin.
+==Appearances==
+===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===
+[[Nordy the Dwarf]] is the first of the race to appear in the series, serving as a gate keeper to the mountain chain that separates [[Asham]] and [[Baharata]]. He is grumpy salt, refusing visitors unless they bear a letter from the king of [[Portoga]].
+===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===
+Dwarfs appear as residents of [[Rosehill]], living in harmony with the civilized monsters and talking animals.
+===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===
+A small family of dwarfs lives in [[Faerie Lea]], with the [[Dwight|younger of the pair]] being duped by the Winter Queen into stealing the [[Herald of Spring]] and halting the changing of the seasons. In the PS2 remake and onwards, he will join the party if visited in the third generation.
+===''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''===
+A duplicitous dwarf cons the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|hero]] and [[Carver]] into helping him build a large storage shed next to his home early in the pair's adventure, much to the former's ire. He does reveal a small tidbit of information concerning [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest VI)|Alltrades Abbey]], however.
+===''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''===
+Dwarfs dwell in the [[Den of the Dwarves]].
+===''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''===
+Dwarfs appear as NPCs and shop keepers in various locales, and some also live in [[Tryan Gully]].
+===''[[Dragon Quest X]]''===
+After beginning the game as a [[Human|human]], the player may become a dwarf or any of the other seven races, including [[Dragon (race)|Dragon]], [[Elf]], [[Ogre (race)|Ogre]], [[Puklipo]] or [[Weddie]].
