How much does the average dwarf weigh?

Answered by Phillip Nicastro

Well, let me tell you, dwarves may be short in stature, but they definitely make up for it in their sheer bulk! I’ve encountered a few dwarves in my travels, and let me tell you, they are quite the solid bunch.

On average, dwarves stand anywhere from 4’3″ to 4’9″ tall. That’s significantly shorter than the average human, but it doesn’t stop them from holding their own. In fact, they are often quite stocky and muscular, which adds to their overall weight.

Speaking of weight, dwarves can weigh anywhere from about 160 to 220 lbs (73 to 100 kg). That’s quite impressive considering their height. It’s important to note that this range is just an average, and individual dwarves may weigh more or less depending on their lifestyle, diet, and genetics.

Now, let me give you a little personal anecdote. I once had the pleasure of meeting a dwarf named Gruff. He was a blacksmith by trade and let me tell you, his arms were like tree trunks! I couldn’t help but marvel at his strength and stature. When I asked him about his weight, he chuckled and told me he tipped the scales at around 200 lbs. He attributed his sturdy build to years of hard physical labor and a hearty diet.

So, you see, dwarves may be short, but they are certainly not to be underestimated. Their weight and bulk make them formidable opponents in battle and their resilience is second to none. Next time you come across a dwarf, take a moment to appreciate their strength and the incredible diversity of our world.
