Dwarves

Dwarves are an other race of anthropomorphs characterized by their minute stature and opulent beards.
== Biology ==
Dwarves, are a widespread anthropoid species of simians believed to have originated in caves and mountainous regions. Over generations, they have developed specific adaptations that have allowed them to thrive in their challenging environment.
Dwarves' physical characteristics are believed to be a result of their adaptation to cave and mountain life. Their stout and compact bodies, combined with their robust musculature, are thought to have evolved as a response to the necessity of maneuvering through narrow, rocky passageways and enduring physically demanding activities such as mining and climbing.
One distinguishing feature of dwarves is their prominent facial hair, particularly their long and bushy beards. In this anthropological context, it is hypothesized that their beards serve as an adaptive trait. The beard may provide protection against the harsh elements prevalent in their mountainous habitats, acting as insulation against cold temperatures, wind, and debris encountered during their daily activities. Additionally, the beard may serve as a sensory organ, enhancing their perception of their surroundings, particularly in low-light conditions.
Beyond the physical adaptations, the beard holds significant social and cultural importance among dwarves. It is often seen as a symbol of maturity, wisdom, and social status within their communities. Dwarves take great pride in their beards, meticulously grooming and maintaining them as a reflection of their individuality and identity. The length, style, and ornamentation of the beard can convey information about the dwarf's age, achievements, and social standing.
It is essential to note that this anthropological perspective on dwarves as simians adapted for cave and mountain life is purely speciological, the race has adapted into entire societies and cultures each with their own specificities and traits.
