Dwelf

The rare offspring of dwarves and elves, dwelfs combine dwarven hardiness with an awkward grace born of elven agility. Physically, dwelfs are somewhere between Elves and Dwarves. They are taller than Dwarves, but shorter than Elves; stockier than Elves, but slimmer than Dwarves. Their ears are pointed, but shorter and more rounded than those of Elves. They are slouching and awkward, but capable of surprising agility and dexterity. Though Elves and Dwarves are on better terms now than the often have been historically, dwelfs remain rare and are often viewed with surprise, suspicion, curiosity, or, rarely, hostility.
