Dwarfs

Dwarfs were a race native to the World of Narnia. They were called Sons of Earth by Aslan, as opposed to humans, whom are called Sons of Adam or Daughters of Eve. Dwarfs exist in at least two (and presumably more) varieties: Black Dwarfs and Red Dwarfs; the only significant physical difference between the two is the color of their hair, especially their beard hair. While many Red Dwarfs are kind and loyal to Aslan, Black Dwarfs appear to be more selfish and warlike. All documented dwarfs are male and live together in communities, although it is known for them to mingle with and reproduce with humans. Consequently, it is possible for there to be females of dwarfish descent despite the lack of female dwarfs. The inhabitants of Burnt Island, may have been dwarfs as the crew of the Dawn Treader found a small coracle that was either made for dwarfs or a child. The Dufflepuds were formerly common dwarfs called Duffers, before Coriakin turned changed them into monopods.

It is not known how the dwarfs came to being. However, when Aslan called the first council when the land was "not yet five hours old," he called the chief Dwarf to present himself. They appeared as the king's train-bearer at the coronation of King Frank, the first ruler of Narnia. They are known to be prolific smiths, miners, and carpenters. In battle they are renowned as deadly archers. According to King Caspian X, Dwarfs can walk all day and night, and all Dwarfs snore.
