Diamond Dog

Surface dwarf

The Diamond Dogs are a strange race, as happy below earth as they are above it due to their ability to dig through the ground like a Tatzlwurm. The Diamond Dog is generally taller than a pony mostly because they prefer to stand upright; perhaps this is because that lets them carry more gems in their long arms.

Diamond Dogs are named Diamond Dogs for a reason: most absolutely love gems and spend much of their time and energy searching for more gems! The second thing that ties most Diamond Dogs together is their...well, they aren’t usually very bright. Of course there are exceptions, but most often Diamond Dogs are easy to fool and find it difficult to think their way out of a situation.

A Diamond Dog’s burrowing ability gives them an entirely new dimension to travel in, letting them get to places even Pegasi can’t reach.
