Dwarf (Middle-earth)

Dwarves in LOTR are short, aggressive and bearded. They are fine warriors and craftsmen, but are known to often be motivated by thought of personal gain.

They were not created by Iluvatar but by Aule, unlike Men and Elves.

Notable dwarves in LOTR are Thorin Oakenshield and his companions, whom Bilbo accompanied to the Lonely Mountain, and Gimli, son of Gloin, the sole Dwarf member of the Fellowship of the Ring.

In Badfic

Generally Dwarves are cast as Designated Misogynistic Bastards or forgotten entirely, because they are not attractive.
