====Old Norse==== Dwarfs feature throughout both [[fornaldarsögur]] and [[riddarasögur]]. In [[Völsunga saga]], which details the events that unfold after [[Loki]] extorts treasure out of the dwarf [[Andvari]], to pay the [[wergild]] for his killing of [[Ótr]], a being whose brother [[Regin]] is also described in some sources as either resembling or being a dwarf.{{sfn|Mikučionis|2017|pp=82-83}}{{sfn|Volsung Saga|loc=Chapter 14 - Regin's tale of his Brothers, and of the Gold called Andvari's Hoard}} In [[Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks]], the sword [[Tyrfing]] is forged, and subsequently cursed, by a dwarf named Dvalinn, and another named Dulin in the [[Hauksbók]] manuscript.{{sfn|Crawford|2021|pp=13,137-139}}
