===Physical Description===

The elemental nature of the khazâd is obvious, for its skin appears to be made of stone, not flesh. Its features are rugged, hard, and angular as if they were a hewn statue brought to life.  They were thickly built as dwarves but much much taller, with heads inset nearly into their shoulders on short stubby necks, and stony hair ranging from bald to great lion-like manes.  Many were also slightly hunchbacked.  Younger khazâd look significently less bulky and surprisingly small, but otherwise look much like the adults.  The khazâd reproduce via stone eggs, surprising for a supposedly mammalian species and giving rise to the idea that khazâd are born from the rock itself.  Their blood was molten lava, which cooled rapidly, as they possessed an extraordinarily high core body temperature.  Their skin color varied across all the spectrum of stone itself.
