Very little is known about this variety of demon. At one time, only three types of Dvergr were known to exist, witnessed only by the most dedicated of adventurers. However, now that the adventurers of Vana'diel have explored Abyssea, two more varieties of Dvergr have been encounted. Seated upon metallic pedestals hovering above the ground, these demons hold sway over a number of possessed skulls with which they assault their target.
Dvergr are malicious creatures capable of inflicting curse, stun, and paralyze upon their assailants, and are also able to terrorize entire parties of attackers, among other deadly enfeebling maneuvers.
Dvergr are often seen guarding chests.
