Female Dwarfs Don't Have Beards
Ask not the EldarGal a question, for she will give you three answers, all of which are puns and terrifying to know. Back off man, I'm a feminist. Ia! Ia! Gloppal Snode!

Maybe she just shaves it along with her legs?

Prachett and Tolkien would disagree...

Pratchett and Tolkien don't write WFB background.

My idea of a female dwarf is short, buxom and rather outspoken. Much like the ones in WOW. I have read in some fiction that whilst female dwarfs do have beards, the hair is very short, very fair and very very soft. Don't remember which novelist described them that way, but if they have to have beards then that's how they should be.
Personally prefer how Blizzard portrays them though.http://paintingplasticcrack.blogspot.co.uk

I don't remember Tolkien ever mentioning the matter at all. I don't think it comes up in the books. I know that the issue is mentioned in one of the movies but I suspect that is just Hollywood grabbing on to existing nerd-lore... cheers...

He mentioned it in some other work, one of the lesser known books or something like that. Originally Posted by Chris Copeland

That's clearly a pre-pubescent female, once they sprout,dwarven females are married off and tied to the kitchen to raise a litter...
However the process of robo-insemination is far too complex for the human mind!

That's no dwarf... that's a technologically impaired female squat
