1. The Dropa Tribe.
   While reported to be a tribe of feeble dwarfs, in actuality the Dropas are nomadic herders who inhabit most of the northern Tibetan Plateau. The Ham are also inhabitants of Tibet, and traditionally have supplied Tibet's warriors: many of the 13th Dalai Lama's bodyguards during his escape from the Chinese invasion were Ham Tibetans.
   
   
   The word "Dropa", according to Creighton, describes the nomadic residents of Tibetan highlands, and can be roughly translated as "solitude" or "isolated". Furthermore, Creighton described the Dropa as bearing no resemblance to "troglodytes", or as stunted; on the contrary, they tend to be rather large and sturdy, befitting their occupation as herders.
