Editing Duergar (section)

==Variants==
In the multiverse of D&D itself, there's only one major "contender" for the archetype of the Evil Dwarf, and that's the [[Derro]].

[[World of Warcraft]] has the Dark Iron Clan of dwarves, who look similar to duergar and were hostile to all other races for an extended period, but this was due to being conquered by an evil [[archomental]] of fire whom they accidentally summoned, and this gave Dark Irons their characteristic red hair, glowy eyes, and affinity for fire magic. As of Cataclysm, they had rejoined the normal Bronzebeard dwarves, and they became playable for Alliance players in Battle for Azeroth.

[[Scarred Lands]] has the [[Charduni]]; gray-colored evil dwarves who practice slavery and [[necromancy]] and worship their creator, the local God of Tyranny... who actually thinks of them as a failed experiment and has all but abandoned them as a result.

In [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]], the [[Chaos Dwarfs]] are the evil cousins to the Dwarfs. They live in the poluted wasteland known as the [[Dark Lands]] and have a distinct Mesopotamian aesthetic.
