Dwarf is a name used especially for people much smaller than the average size of humankind. In ancient times, people believed there were races of dwarfs. In role-playing games, dwarves are often considered to be a player race.

Aristotle once declared that eye-witnesses affirmed that many of these little people lived in caves on the banks of the Nile.

In the myths of the old Germanic nations dwarfs play a prominent part. They had their kings and lived in caves within the earth, where they kept treasure and works of art.

UFOs

Since the 1980s, the greys have been the most famous reported type of being in UFO and alien abduction cases. While the most common type is a humanoid that is smaller than the average Homo sapiens, they are not usually referred to as dwarves. Earlier on, especially in South America, encounters were reported with short, often stocky, sometimes hairy dwarves.
