- The Wicked dwarves were the few dwarves who fought (or were rumored to have fought) on the side of Morgoth and later Sauron and Saruman, or in alliances with orcs and goblins during the first three ages of the world. There may have been some from every dwarven house except that of Durin (Longbeards) at least in second age if not earlier, but in particular the wicked dwarves more likely came from the houses of the far East.

The term may also refer to those dwarves who were viewed with suspicion and viewed as evil or influenced by the Shadow by others (due to gossip, rumors, stories, etc), though were actually on the side of good or at least neutral.

Some of the Ironfists and Blacklocks and much later the Dourhands and Shornbeards, renegade factions that had formed out of remnants of the Firebeards and Broadbeams, had joined the forces of the Dark Lord. Their descendants were the Mornaugrim of Mordor.
