dwarvish
Like mine-dwelling beings
Dwarvish describes things relating to dwarves—the short, sturdy, often bearded fantasy race known for mining, metalwork, and underground kingdoms.
Most commonly refers to their language: The runes were written in Dwarvish.
The word belongs to fantasy literature and gaming, particularly works following Tolkien's tradition.
Also spelled dwarfish, though that form more often means simply small or stunted.
