Dwarves are also the same size as elves.
The elven diplomat makes references to dwarves being short and is insulting about it. They even joke that that dwarves and elves rarely see eye to eye and laughs about it. Dwarves also used to have the now defunct [STOUT] token which made them harder to knock down. Both these things make me think dwarves may have as much body, but that it is distributed more horizontally as compared to elves.

Elf --> cucumber
Dwarf --> potato.

The average adult dwarf is 60000 cm3. Height and broadness are the only other factors mentioned in the wiki:
Quote
The actual size of a creature is the result of three different effects, one basic and two modulatory. First and most basic is the average maintained across an individual species of creature. The second is the age of the creature: most creatures are not born anywhere near their maximum size, and instead must grow into it; some, like most species of snake, grow through their entire lifetime, and probably will not live long enough to reach it. The third is inheritance: version 0.31.1 introduced genetics, allowing creatures to inherit part of their size from the appearance, specifically the height and girth, of their parents.
Code: (Dwarf Raws) [Select]
[BODY_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER:HEIGHT:75:95:98:100:102:105:125]
[BODY_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER:BROADNESS:75:95:98:100:102:105:125]
Height and broadness are maximum 125% each (with 1/49 dwarves having both maxed.) Assuming the factors are just multiplied against the average, the maximum base size of a dwarf would be only 93750 cm3. Fat and muscle would have to factor in somewhere.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

So that's already twice the size of your regular average-fat dwarf, and pretty close to black bear.
Consider breeding the offsprings and making a fortress of giant dwarves.
