Characters may attempt to learn more about types of creatures that they may end up fighting, and there are many sources they might check, but not everything they learn is necessarily true. Here are ten bits of misinformation to learn about dwarves.

1. Dwarves are good at finding gold in any form because they are literally able to sniff out its location.
2. Dwarves are made of rock, not flesh and blood, and return to the rock from which they came when they die.
3. Dwarves burrow their tunnels under the buildings of other species in order to collapse them.
4. Dwarves can’t drink water, as it’s poisonous to them, which is why they drink alcohol instead.
5. Dwarves don’t have children, being effectively immortal except through violence, and when the last dwarf dies, they will become extinct.
6. Dwarves have no morals, being completely mercenary and only obeying their lust for money.
7. Dwarves want gems in order to eat them, as they gain sustenance from such.
8. If a dwarf’s belly is cut open, gems can be found in their gut. These gems help the dwarf digest otherwise indigestible items.
9. There are no females amongst the dwarves, and those that others believe to be female are in fact male, dwarves reproducing by splitting in two when they are old enough.
10. There are tunnels constructed by the dwarves running beneath the civilised lands, and these tunnels are used by said dwarves to spy on others and move around unseen.
