-Dwarf lords have two weapon attacks, which makes them quite deadly when [[wielding]] a dwarvish mattock, and they can be given excellent [[AC]] if the game is generous with their initial [[worn]] armor. Peaceful dwarf lords will likely be harder for a pet to kill without them being trained up beforehand, and hostile ones can be an unexpected and unpleasant surprise for an early hero diving into the Gnomish Mines.

 Somewhat fortunately for heroes that are seeking early equipment or dealing with hostile Mines denizens, dwarf lords are just as slow as regular dwarves at 6 [[speed]], which can be used to the hero's own advantage. As with other dwarves, dwarf lords that are using a dwarvish short sword, axe, mattock, or dwarvish spear tend to have better armor on average.
