Skardyn are the descendants of Dark Iron dwarves who had survived the end of the War of the Three Hammers, and then fled into Grim Batol.NotD 15 They were supposedly transformed by the evil inside Grim Batol, caused by the curse of the Dark Iron sorceress queen, Modgud. They are mentioned, and play a role in, the book Night of the Dragon by Richard A. Knaak. They are described as being close in shape to a dwarf, but with clawed, paw-like hands, covered in black, coarse, scales on their bodies (even where there should be a beard), and a double-forked tongue. Their bodies have extra width made up of muscle, from digging through earth with their bare hands. Their hands allow them to run as quadrupeds and scale cave walls and ceilings like spiders. Even when disarmed, they can fight with tooth and claw. A mouth full of sharp, reptilian teeth is used to devour any kind of meat they come across, no matter what state it's in; this causes them to have foul breath and a bite that can make a victim ill.NotD 15-16 The skardyn speak an unknown language or dialect, but can speak Dwarven. They consider dwarves from the Bronzebeard clan good eating.
