Gnoll

Hyena-man hybrids who take great pride in their communion with demons.

Physical Description

Despite being hunched over, Gnolls tend to stand around 5'8'' and have arrow-shaped heads. Their fur is often golden brown at its lightest or a raven black at its darkest, and they have yellow or white eyes. Because of their association with demons some Gnolls are born with horn-like protrusions from their heads right above their ears, others may start growing them and file them off if they are part of a Gnoll tribe disgusted with the idea of communing with demons.

Personality

Cunning and vicious creatures who take pleasure in inflicting pain on others, Gnoll culture is traditionally Satanic and often involves venerating demons (especially Satan himself) and seeking ways for them to acquire 'gifts' from their demon lords in the hopes they may receive the blessing of becoming a demon themselves once they die. Despite this Gnoll society isn't always too friendly to demons, these societies are often more tribal or choose to worship Nordic deities (especially Thor) and see these as means to combat demonic entities.

Rougarou

Wolf-man hybrids, these feral beasts struggle to maintain their sanity while they hunger for flesh.

Physical Description

Although thin and lanky, Rougarou still possess muscles and are tall at around 6'4'' on average. Their eyes are normally red or orange, and their fur grows in patches around their body and is black or a dull silver color. Beneath their fur is a thin layer of bruised skin which tends to not bleed even if it has open cuts and wounds.

Personality

Rougarou have a tenuous grasp on reality, their struggles stemming from their minds trying to act upon their natural instincts rather than behaving 'normally' in the eyes of society. Those Rougarou who can keep themselves fed well enough on meat can function and present themselves as in control of their urge to feast on others, however those who do fail end up biting someone in a blind, hunger-induced fury and run off to hide and abandon wherever it was they lived. Even while falling to these urges, they are fully aware of what they are doing despite not being in control, likening this insanity to being possessed.

Ursus

"Bearfolk" who are strong and resilient, using their thick hides laden with muscles to shrug off attacks a human would find grievous.

Physical Description

Ursii are massive in stature standing at 10' or so and massive arms which are just as thick as their legs, their fur being dark colors like black, brown, and gray. However, some white Ursii resembling polar bears exist, and rarer than that are those whose coloration matches that of a panda.

Personality

Though they look threatening, especially due to their size and stature, Ursii try to give off a calmer and more reserved appearance. Their society is one built upon honor, especially of one's elders, and those who disrespect their friends are seen as being on the same level as a sinner or heretic and punishment is common to those who would dare squander friendships and relationships with betrayal or subterfuge. Those who are banished from Ursii society are known as 'Ukri' (Outcast in Ursian) and are distinguished by an X-shaped scar extending from their ears and down across their cheeks.

Skitterling

Bipedal rat beings who are skilled at the creation of bows and the ability to squeeze into small places.

Physical Description

Skitterlings (sometimes called Ratlings or Ratmen) stand at around 3'8'' on average and possess a wide variety of fur colors, although the most common among them is a dull gray color. Their eyes are black, brown, or red, and those with red eyes often have white fur accompanying them. Despite the typical depiction of rats as dirty, Skitterlings are known to take great pride in the cleanliness of their coats of fur and how well they take care of their features, as well as often wrapping their tail around their waist as if it were a belt.

Personality

Smart albeit mischievous and resourceful folk, Skitterlings are misunderstood in many ways by others who would otherwise see them as dumb, uncouth, and unreliable. Part of this stereotype is intentionally developed by them as a means to ensure most people underestimate them, especially in regards to being a threat (although this negative stereotype they've built means most suspect them of being up to no good, even if they have proof they aren't). Skitterlings are natural schemers however, and often use the fact people underestimate them to their advantage, cluing only their most trusted allies in on the deeper mechanisms of their schemes.

Massive in stature due to their lower-half, their true height is around 12'4'' and their tail extends over them but does not add to their height (instead being factored into their 'length'). Their lower scorpion halves often mimic the chitinous bodies of other scorpions, although the most common coloration is a tan sand-like color. The human half usually appears as a toned Arab with dark hair and brown eyes.

Personality

Girtablilu are naturally prideful and stern, being strict adherents to Tiamat's divine will and rarely straying from said path. Most still worship Tiamat despite her supposed death by the hands of Marduk and see to their task to defend Tiamat who Marduk claims to have molded the Earth with her body. Few Girtablilu travel outside of their homelands, and those who do seek new tasks for them to undertake in order to keep themselves busy lest they become restless.

Sasquatch

An ancient primate relative, the Sasquatch is an elusive figure who defends forested regions.

Physical Description

Sasquatches are tall in stature standing around 6'6'' and possessing well toned muscles due to their active outdoor lifestyle. Their faces are in an unnerving stage of being not human enough and not primate enough, being a blend of both but not being truly one or the other. Sasquatches usually have fur appropriate for the region they live in - brown in temperate forests and jungles, white in typically snowy areas, and so on.

Personality

Although developed after humans became intelligent, the Sasquatches often surprise others who encounter them due to their ability to speak and their curiosity in regards to other beings. Despite their curiosity, Sasquatches are very cautious of others, seeing them as potentially dangerous and wishing to instead watch where they can't be seen by others, or even sneaking up on those sleeping. Because of this, they typically only learn simple phrases in languages and are often only barely able to communicate with other beings, especially humans.

Naga

Naga are half-human, half-snake creatures who inhabit jungles and undergrounds.

Physical Description

The lower half of Naga are snake-like and their coloration often matches that of a boa constrictor although other colorations exist. Their upper half resembles a human with unnaturally white hair and eyes, and blotchy patches of discoloration and scales ascending from their stomach and stopping just below the collarbone. Because of their association with snakes some believe they possess fangs when in reality some Naga get artificial fangs put into their mouths or similar processes with magic in order to replicate being able to bite people just as a snake would.

Personality

Bold, courageous, and prideful, Naga are much more focused on doing rather than contemplating, preferring to be active and in the thick of things. Despite this they're reluctant to involve themselves in the affairs of people outside of a designated 'Domain' they control, each 'Naga Domain' typically being inherited from a family, thus giving importance to the zone they protect as it is their 'home turf' in their eyes. While they pursue intruders of their domain hastily and ruthlessly, they prefer to not engage with places outside their domain so as to not potentially end their ancestral line and lose their land. Most Naga are okay with development or towns coming to be within their domain, or even having their domain be part of a kingdom, so long as they are in control of it themselves and other Naga aren't at the head of the kingdom in question.

Satyr

These charming goat-legged creatures use their wit and charm to seduce those they wish to make as part of their harem.

Physical Description

Satyrs stand around 5'10'' and have brown or bright colored fur to contrast their stunning eyes and the jarring animal features they possess like their horns and legs. Their human features are normally more hirsute than normal with thick and bushy arm and body hair as well as thick beards which need to be properly groomed.

Personality

Always looking for their next prey, the Satyr have unconquerable sexual appetites who always desire attention and affection. Going without such affection causes them to become aggressive, seeking it out by any means necessary. Not all Satyr become aggressive though those who do can become more violent in their tendencies, even attempting to kidnap people.
