Beardless Dwarf

Dwarfs have their own mysterious community and their own laws. Beardless dwarfs are dwarfs that have broken the dwarf laws and been exiled from the dwarf kingdom. There is a special ceremony held by the dwarfs three times a year in which the prisons are emptied and the convicts are thrown out and forced to leave. The exiled dwarfs have their beards shaved off.

Unlike normal hair a dwarf's beard does not grow back as it is part of the dwarfs body. The beardless dwarf must remain beardless forever. Understandably, most beardless dwarfs are very angry about this and some have taken to beating up passing hero's to vent their anger at their own humiliation.

Beardless dwarfs are particularly vicious during battle and can floor enemies much larger than them (the dwarves are fortunate, as most people are much larger than them). They are rarely photographed as their habit of beating up anyone who photographs them puts most people off.
