dwarven
Like mountain miners
Dwarven describes things relating to dwarves—the stout, bearded, mine-dwelling folk of fantasy literature and games: dwarven armor, dwarven ale, a dwarven stronghold.
The word follows the pattern of elven, serving as the adjectival form where dwarfish might sound dismissive.
It appears almost exclusively in fantasy contexts.
