Blaad' Os (5e Race)
Blaad' Os
The ogre traveled down the path, laughing at smaller creatures and confident he would pillage the next small village. "You won't get to our town!" 'a small goblin said.' "We have a guardian!" "Oh, and who is this gauwdian?" the ogre asked as he strangled the squirming goblin. "Over----th-ere!" the goblin choked. The guardian looked like a small squid in the distance. "Ha ha! and dat is yow puny gawdian?? HA HA HA H- uh..." the ogre was cut short. "Say another word and I'll eat your head whole!" the hulking squid said telepathically in a gurgly, raspy voice.
A Blaad'O surrounds itself in light and teleports behind the Orc Chieftain, then stabs him straight through the middle. He falls over, and the orcs turn around surprised. The Blaad'O then proceeds to raise a small blue chunk of a slug, an orb of acid emitting from it. All the orcs disintegrate into ash, as the Blaad'O rolls away nearly unscathed.
As the warrior squids fend off the Quadrones, the high Priestess summons a swarm of insects. They quickly devour the Quadrones whole, as well as the Blaad'O. She walks into the temple, sad about the outcome, but resumes back to her prayer temple.
Physical Description

History
The history of this race is shrouded in secrecy. Only through hushed whispers in dark places do you hear mentions of the terrible Underdark experiments that Illithids performed to create these horrid guardians from the deep. Although their exact history isn't known what is known is awful and full of torture to harmless animals and people. They are a race spawned from evil and malice and that is enough history for most who choose to avoid these hulking beasts.
Society
Blaad' Os live in what they call "Gathks", which have 5 leaders, 2 "subleaders", each of the 20 villages have fifteen healers (female Blaad' Os clerics), 20-30 warriors (male Blaad' Os warriors).
