Additional Information

Facial characteristics

Duergar are blind so their eyes open appear cold and lightless to those that first meet them. Low, arching brushy brows frame their eyes. Both sexes have big bushy beards but the top of their heads are bald.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

After generations within the Earth, Duergar have nearly lost their ability to see, and now rely on touch and hearing to move about dark home. Both sexes have big, bushy beards that they use to feel the area in front of them, similar to a cat's whiskers. They can still detect changes in light levels and sudden bright lights can stun them.
