Dwarves

Dwarves are usually short but really strong human like beings. They tend to have a very muscled body and are associated with the mountains where they mine precious metals. They are recognized for their great skill with creating superb weapons, armor, and anything else you can possibly make out of metals. Since dwarves spend so much time in their mines they tend to be very protective of those mines and very grouchy when forced to leave the mines or when associating with other races. Dragons tend to quarrel with dwarves over the rich metals they both treasure and both races don't generally like each other in many fictions.
