Their colours are bright green and black and their symbol features a bowler hat, sunglasses and large mustache/beard chombo, which form together a stilisized male face. They are - more or less secretly - ruled by a group of free spirits, who's name translates "The Chinese Dead". These spirits - five, seven or proably nine or even thirteen - are all earth elementals or elemental spirits of the Wuxing earth. While the triads adopted the practise of forcing Chinese gangs to join them, the «Chinese Deadly Dwarfs» have changed their main focus from their Chinese homeland to Europe to avoid the risk of being absorbed into the greater triads.
