Dwarf Shaman

* Light Novel
* Manga
* Anime

**Dwarf Shaman** (鉱人道士 (ドワーフ) , *Dowāfu*) is a dwarf adventurer and a member of Goblin Slayer's party.

## Appearance

Dwarf Shaman has a strong physique contrary to his height. He has a long beard that is tied in multiple sections which he often strokes as a habit. His outfit appears unusually eastern style and he wears what seems to resemble a type of cuirass on his waist. Most of the time, he carries a wine gourd.

## Personality

Dwarf Shaman is cheerful and happy most of the time and is almost always arguing with High Elf Archer. As the more mature of the two squabblers, he would occasionally drop the vitriol to give a distraught High Elf Archer reassuring words and advice, only returning to teasing her when she finally cheers up.

## Abilities

Dwarf Shaman is an experienced adventurer and a spell caster. As a dwarf, he is well versed with metal, stone, and alcohol. At first glance, he is able to tell that Goblin Slayer is experienced and strong. A number of his spells require catalysts to cast, and as such, carries a bag of them. Currently, he is able to cast up to four spells a day.

### Spells

* **Stone/Metal Barrier**: A similar spell to Stone Blast, he can enchant a stone or metal floor to form a wall out of it.

* **Bind:**Dwarf Shaman used the spell *Bind* to confine a fleeing goblin.
* **Tail Wind**

* **Spirit Wall:** Similar to Protection, but it takes a physical form rather than a spiritual form.
* **Fear**: A spell that can cast illusion magic to control the goblin's emotion, making them emotionally defenseless. Dwarf Shaman had used this spell to call out a swarm of locusts.
* **Falling Control**
* **Tunnel**: A digging spell that requires no catalyst, but does require the drawing of a pattern.
