In terms of defensive abilities, they are highly resistant to magic spells and charms (owing to their captivity period under mind flayers), as well as physical damage. Their darkvision, which they developed after eons in the Underdark, allows them to see farther than regular dwarves, though they're unable to withstand sunlight. This resentment eventually shaped their personality as a whole, turning them into overall cruel creatures with a nihilistic worldview who basically enjoy causing pain to others. With regards to personality, they are extremely cynical and wary of other creatures, and they are outrageously resentful, swearing vengeance on their own dwarven kin for holding them back. Both males and females are completely bald, while males can grow sizable beards. They're fairly short, reaching roughly an average height of 130 cm, while the average weight ranges approximately from 84 to 144 lb.

Their settlements can be commonly found around volcanos. Duergars, also known as underdwarves or gray dwarves, are a subrace of dwarves that dwell in the region called the Underdark.
