The dwarves in this game have been genetically modified. This is evidenced by their apparent inability to grow beards. The inability to grow beards understandably depresses the dwarves, to ameliorate this fact they must consume copious amounts of alcohol as becomes a true dwarf.

A dwarven 'beard' consistes of both his cheek whiskers and his chin whiskers, and is specific to males. The game keeps track of a hidden 'length' attribute for each tissue. At birth, a male baby dwarf has a beard of length zero. After that, they gain 1 length every day until they have 1000 length.

Dwarven hair is extremely hearty; the average dwarf hair is many times longer and several times thicker than the average human hair.  It is usually straight.  The range of dwarven hair colors is quite large; common colors include dark blues, black, any number of shades of gray, silver, white, brown, copper, rust, and even [[fire|flaming orange-red]].

A dwarf's beard begins growing before birth, and is usually less than two inches long at birth. [[Children]] of the dwarven [[Noble|nobility]], however, are born with much longer beards, sometimes long enough that it is wrapped around the infant's body. Human doctors become wary of this sort of thing, but dwarven mothers are often completely oblivious to their own pregnancy until their baby drops out of them, often times in the middle of a workshop, or in the middle of a tall staircase.
