My fellow rat-bastards Alberto and Bemmzim mention that one must have a dwarf parent to be a dwarf.
That sounds false. I mean, in the old times, dwarfs would have had a less chance to have children, and so would have died out by now, unless someone deliberately kept dwarfism alive. That seems fine in dogs, because dogs don't care if they're dwarfs or epileptic or not [well they do boss if it causes them pain], but people certainly do care if they're freaks or perceived as freaks.
