Tolkien describes dwarves as not being traditional heroes because they are motivated more by a desire for material wealth and a strong sense of duty to their home and kin, rather than selfless acts for the greater good. Their focus on reclaiming lost treasures and their stubborn nature are traits that set them apart from the more noble and heroic characters in his stories.
