I always thought of dwarfs as eating rock and/or metal. An excellent reason for needing teeth.
[lots & lots of stuff about the classifications of various Gloranthan creatures]
I believe that Gloranthan creatures defy terran classifications. Humans in Glorantha are NOT homo sapiens. That is a terran classification that does not apply here. Gloranthan scholars (you Lhankor Mhy know who you are) would most likely use runes to classify various species. I always figured that it was called Runequest because runes were intrinsic to the very fabric of Glorantha's universe. Runes would be perfect (Mike of Codex fame - maybe I'll work on this one next.)
