Technically speaking, the plural of 'dwarf' is 'dwarfs'.



But if you're talking about the mythical creatures found in J.R.R. Tolkien books, Dungeons & Dragons games, or other fantasy creations, then you'd use 'Dwarves' as the plural.


As far as Tomatoville is concerned, I doubt anyone is going to get their knickers in a knot if someone uses either spelling (at least I hope that is the case).
