Duergar
Duergar (pronounced: /ˈdjuːɜːrgɑːr/ DEW-ur-gar or: /ˈdwɛərgɑːr/ DWAIR-gar), also known as gray dwarves, or underdwarves are a subterranean subrace of dwarves.
They carve out an existence in the Underdark, often near volcanoes.
Their kinship to other dwarven subraces could be compared to that of the drow to surface elves.
Variants
Duergars train for different roles in combat.
Most of them are capable of Enlarging and turning Invisible. And as most dwarves they are very resistant to Spells and Poison.
