			The '''Duergar''' are a group of dwarves said to live in the Simonside Hills of Northumberland in northern England. The word comes from the Old Norse ''dvergr'', just like the word dwarf does.

	What [[Drow]] are to [[Elves]], ~~'''~~Duergar~~'''~~ are to [[Dwarves]]. This race of magic-touched, grim, cheerless dwarf-kin inhabits the dark depths of the [[Underdark]], a malign twist on their more familiar and goodly cousins.		=Dungeons & Dragons=

The Duergar of [[Golarion]] are those who did not join the "main" dwarves in their exodus to the surface. Faced with extinction from the threats of the <s>Underdark</s> [[Underdark\|Darklands]] they made a deal with the metaphorical devil by becoming slaves to the evil dwarf god Droskar in exchange for safety.

	A consequence of the aforementioned deal is that the Duergar of Pathfinder cannot create any original works, reducing them to copying the works of another race. Since most societies require innovation to survive, the Duergar enslave other races to work endlessly and come up with new ideas and designs which they can then copy and implement, placing them among the greatest slavers in the Darklands		A consequence of the aforementioned deal is that the Duergar of Pathfinder cannot create any original works, reducing them to copying the works of another race.

	Unlike [[drow]], duergar ~~haven't managed~~ to make an impact in the [[monstergirls]] field~~; whereas~~ drow have an overwhelming association with kinky nubile black-skinned [[elf]] maidens, duergar are A: heavily associated with the masculine, just like dwarves, and B: regarded as a bunch of joyless pricks even by dwarven standards. ~~Theoretically~~, ~~you could make something appealing out~~ of ~~duergar (~~[[~~Nazi~~]]~~/Russian Baroness style dwarf women~~, ~~perhaps?) but you'd have virtually nothing to draw from~~ the ~~base material~~.		Unlike [[drow]], duergar struggled to make an impact in the [[monstergirls]] field... directly. Whereas drow have an overwhelming association with kinky nubile black-skinned [[elf]] maidens, duergar are A: heavily associated with the masculine, just like dwarves, and B: regarded as a bunch of joyless pricks even by dwarven standards. Nobody faps to what can be drawn from that base material...

			. . . nobody, that is, until the designers of [[White Wolf]]; who looked at "dour depressive authoritarian dwarves who never see daylight" and thought "dusky shortstack dominatrices". And thus, the [[Scarred Lands]] got the [[Charduni]]. [[Slaanesh]] wins again.

	There is cheesecake and even outright smut of Dark Iron Dwarves that could "stand in for" hot duergar women, but then, what race ''doesn't'' have porn in [[World of Warcraft]]? This is the setting which pioneered the Hot [[Orc]] Chick and whose depictions of [[goblin]]s and [[gnome]]s gave rise to the modern phenomena of the [[shortstack]].
