Dwarf

From WikiNarnia, the Narnian Encyclopedia

Dwarfs were a race humanoids to the world of Narnia. They were called Sons of Earth by Aslan, as opposed to humans, who 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, though females such as Cornelius's motehr exist, 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.

[edit] Black Dwarf

Black Dwarfs are short black-bearded ones in the world of Narnia.

These ones happen to be greedy, selfish, and very cruel to Red Dwarfs and other creatures in Narnia. During the One Hundred-Year-Winter, Black Dwarfs later became loyal to the White Witch where they are part of her army in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Black Dwarfs became common foes to the Old Narnians where they join Caspian X to fight against the King Miraz and the Telmarine army. Black Dwarfs also ask Caspian X, Trumpkin, and Nikabrik if they would be introduced by ogres and hags up north. In The Last Battle, Black Dwarfs fight with the Narnians and the Calormenes at Battle of Stable Hill.

In the 2005 film The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Black Dwarfs were seen in the White Witch's camp where they help build up many swords for each creature on their side. They were present at Aslan's Sacrifice where some use their swords to shave Aslan's long hair off. In the First Battle of Beruna, some Black Dwarfs use their bow and arrows to shoot down the Gryphons from dropping rocks at half the White Witch's army. Three black dwarfs in a deleted scene try to shoot down a phoenix. In the 2008 film Prince Caspian, Black Dwarfs join forces with the Old Narnians after they join Caspian X in order to gather weapons from the Telmarines. Black Dwarfs later fought at the Telmarine Castle Night Raid and the Second Battle of Beruna, as they fight the Telmarine army. editBehind the Scenes
