Dwarves

Dwarves are diminutive fellows who live in Middle Earth. Their tendency to get grumpy when referred to as such has led to many people renaming them 'small folk' or 'ankle-biters' however the Dwarves themselves are not to be underestimated. They are a formiddable fighting force and use their small size as an advantage, making up for their lack of height by their immense strength.

They have a rivalry with the Elves, however, this has apparently come to an end following the destruction of the One Ring. Maybe it had something to do with that all along...
