History

The Dwarves were smaller in stature than the Asgardians, and had squat, stocky bodies. Their average height was four feet. They were stronger and faster then they appeared to be, with fighting skills allowing them to take down larger opponents in battle. The Dwarves tended to be craftsmen and farmers who maintained friendly trade and peace relations with the Gods of Asgard, even though they were also known for sending minor Asgardians to the Trolls as slaves[1]. Dwarves dwell in the realm of Nidavellir one of the Nine Worlds of Norse mythology. Nidavellir was part of the landmass where Asgard, Alfheim, and Vanaheim were all situated.

Dwarves crafted such legendary Asgardian weapons as the hammer Mjolnir and the spear Gungnir and Stormbreaker, although it was the magic of Odin that imbued these objects with their special enchantments. Dwarves are the race that have crafted most of the weapons and enchanted items for the gods.

During the attack of The Serpent, Odin allowed Iron Man to create Uru weapons with the Dark Elves, to help the heroes fight against Serpent's Worthy.
