Monstrous Races

---

So-called "monstrous" races tend to be more uniform in nature and attitude, and are more limited to certain regions of the world. They also tend to have unique abilities that make them overall more powerful on an individual basis compared to the major races. Nonetheless, monstrous races differ from ordinary beasts in that they are intelligent and capable of building their own civilizations. Combining their natural abilities and the might of an organized society is what makes these races truly dangerous.

These races are reserved for NPCs only.
