Our Dwarves Are All the Same: Difference between revisions

* Although we have not actually met any dwarves in ''[[Digger]]'', they seem to go at least a little off model - they apparently use large amounts of magic in the construction of their underground cities. Digger the wombat does not approve, as that magic tends to wear off after a while if not carefully maintained, leaving abandoned dwarf cities as veritable deathtraps.

** Come to think of it, the wombats seem to fit the traditional dwarf mold pretty well, themselves.

* [[The Pig's Ear|Angus]] is a retired adventurer who now works as a pub chef, but otherwise fits the trope straight. So straight that the Scottish creator of the comic gave Angus (and Angus alone) a Scottish [[Funetik Aksent]].

* Flintlocke, of ''[[Flintlocke's Guide to Azeroth]]'' plays around with this one. While he adheres to several Dwarf stereotypes, including a love of combat, [[No Indoor Voice|boisterous loudness]], a strange sort of Scottish accent, a few demonstrated instances of marked greed, and some impressive facial hair, he also happens to be something of a cross between a [[Gadgeteer Genius]] and a [[Mad Bomber]], and where most of the other Dwarves are shown as sensible individuals, Flintlocke is about as dumb as a pile of hammers. On more than a few occasions he's managed to outwit ''himself.'' It gets to the point that the ''[[Our Angels Are Different|Spirit Healer]]'' had to get a word in.

* [http://www.geneticanomaly.com/RPG-Motivational/slides/dwarf.html This motivational poster], depicting a [[Lineage]] dwarf.

* It may be difficult to find these days, but an old Gamespy comedy feature article were two writers comparing various things (like sorcerers versus warriors) and once, [[Elves vs. Dwarves]] came up. They pointed out that there are many different depictions of elves, but dwarves tend to all be the same.
