'''Kogolors''' - also known as '''Kogolor Dwarves''' - are a [[demihuman]] race from the [[Mystara]] setting of [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. A gregarious and friendly people, Kogolors are the primeval ancestors of both the [[dwarf]] and the [[gnome]] races; rendered extinct due to the Great Rain of Fire on the surface of Mystara, they only survive to the present in the great sanctuary of the [[Hollow World]].
