Dwarfs
In Germanic mythology, a dwarf(Old English dweorg, Old Norsedvergr, Old High German zwercand gitwerc) is a being that dwells in mountains and in the earth, and is associated with wisdom, smithing, mining, and crafting. Dwarfs are also sometimes described as short and ugly, although some scholars have questioned whether this is a later development stemming from comical portrayals of the beings.
