Five Black Dwarfs

Suspicious, rather aggressive Dwarfs who live in a cave near the Seven Brothers of the Shuddering Wood. Unlike these Red Dwarfs, however, the Black Dwarfs do not seem to be brothers. They define their allegiance to Caspian negatively-they will support him if he is against Miraz, not because he is for Old Narnia. That they are likely more sinister than the Red Dwarfs is evidence by their wish to call for the help of Ogres and Hags. Three Black Dwarfs attend the Great Counsil, and are sent to investigate the mysterious( who turns out to be Doctor Cornelius) with their bows and arrows. One of the Dwarfs is ready to kill if he has to.
