The Dwarf is an Effect-giving NPC found in the Candle World. His appearance is of a colorful gnome carrying a sword. He constantly runs to the east at nearly the same speed that Madotsuki moves with the Bicycle effect, so is tricky to catch without either the Bicycle or Stoplight effects. If one blocks his path he will not change direction and will simply stand still, making this the easiest way to catch him.
Interacting with him gives you the Midget effect.
While running, he passes a purple pyramid which leads to The Checkered Tile Path. He can be killed with the Knife effect and reacts normally to the Cat effect. Though he is quite fast, with the bike effect Madotsuki can outpace him given enough time. His footsteps produce a sound effect that can be heard across all of candle world.
