Volatile Races of North America, Professor Hobbes


Drow (Homo svartalfaris): close relatives of the Alfar, drow are also known as Night Elves, Dark Elves, Svartalfar, and Unseelie. Drow Clans are often embroiled in bloody conflicts or neck deep in seedy operations, yet for all the negative stereotypes there are just as many heroes from this passionate people as villains.
Hill Giant (Homo gigantes lastrygoneus): The most common of Giants, known for their cannibalism and cruelty. Like other savage races, Giants live on the ragged edges of civilization. They are much less intelligent than other peoples, and are often used as the brute muscle.
Goblin (Kobolo fomorianis): The common goblin takes a surprising number of forms. Goblins are also known as Fomorians and have ancient feuds with elves.
Gremlin (Kobolo gremios): A breed of goblin peculiar to North America, the Gremlin is a terror of mischief, with a dark gift for destructive engineering. Gremlins are commonly manic-depressive.
Orc (Homo kobolis depreos): a halfbreed mix of goblin and human, the Orc has become one of the most feared of the savage races by civilized people, often terrorizing neighborhoods in biker gangs and crime families.
Troll (Kobolo gigantes): the largest and most savage of the goblin breeds, the common troll is often associated with bridges and toll-booths.
Lizardman (Homo Lacertilia chimerae): Natives of the Amazon rainforest, this savage people often sacrifices intruders to their strange gods.
Minotaur (Minotaurus chimerae): fiendishly clever architects and savage warriors, the Minotaurs have carved out a small niche in civilization for themselves as soldiers of fortune.
Ogre (Homo gigantes horibles): Lording over the less intelligent and weaker savage peoples, the Ogres are a type of giant that lust for power, political, magical, or by brute force. Though rare (because of constant infighting), Ogres make powerful adversaries.
Red Dwarf (Homo naenis roujis): cousins of the dwarves, the Nain Rouge, or Redcaps, are not actually a different race, but other dwarves have disowned them for devotion to savagery and evil.
