Differencesfrom dwarves krasnolud differ in the following characteristics: krasnolud larger than the dwarves (the dwarves rise: 1.2 — 1.35 m compared with growth of dwarf: 0.9 — 1.0 m) and more chunky. Krasnolud always wears a beard, and the dwarf may not be wearing, and if is, then briefly it mows. Even exceptionally large and strong dwarf with an unkempt beard can not be confused with krasnoludek. It is all about the length of the nose: because dwarves have exceptionally long noses, twice as long as the noses of humans and dwarves.
