    Assuming both exist, what is the difference between an elf and a dwarf?

    Question #108596. Asked by 29CoveRoad. (Sep 07 09 7:07 PM)

    		According to the dictionary, a dwarf and an elf are both small in stature but a dwarf my be out of proportion and ugly and as I remember, foul tempered. Elves on the other hand are more mischievous and I think in general they were beautiful in a weird way.

    		If you've watched the "Lord Of the Rings" movie series, you'll know that elves are not necessarily small creatures. A dwarf, in medical terms, is a person who's smaller than normal (a 3-foot adult human is a dwarf). Elves are mythical creatures who are, according to some cultures, in possession of some magical powers.
