Code dwarves

From Pirates@Home

Code dwarves are little tiny binary beings, that eat a little bit of Gold Dust and shit useful code. Via a special microtelepathic device, code dwarves are able to adopt their code waste to their owners need.

They are very much apreciated by programmers system engineers and all others who are in bitter need of lots of new code.

There are some different sorts of code dwarves: Red ones, green ones, golden ones and extreme ugly ones. Rumors even tell of the weird ones.

Code dwarves on a diet of raw computer dust tend to stomp with their axe, this often results in Microseism

There are two ways to lose a code dwarf. It can possibly be stolen, which is quite likely according to the latest statistics on code dwarf robberies, or it even might get caught by a Rampaging code goblin, which would lead to an awkward mess of dying code in a vast area around the disastrous event.

Rumor has it that our cap'n owns a red code dwarf, but there is no proof, as he never shows it. This is quite understandable having heard of the amount of code dwarf thefts during the last two centuries.
