Clugs (3.5e Race)

Clugs

Have you heard the phrase, "Two Heads Are Better Than One"? Well, it's true. Most of the time.

Physical Description

Clugs are very strange looking to most other races, with their dark blue skin, 4 arms, and 2 heads. Clugs have almost monstrous strength. Their two heads sometimes are a hindrance, one head having different personality to the other. But most times the heads have an intelligent coexistence with each other.

History

No one knows where the Clugs came from for sure; Some say that they were a mad mage's experiment to combine two orcs together; Some say that they were originally 1 single orc who sold his soul to demons for power and knowledge; And some say that they're just a freak of nature.

Society

Clugs are shunned in societies run by Humans and Elves for their strange appearance. Most live in Dwarvish or Orcish society because they are praised for their great mining strength or their strength in battle. Clugs do not have their own society, preferring not to socialize with each other.

Clugs Names

Clugs generally don't have names specific to their own kind. They mostly choose names of the society that they live in.h,

Male: Names from Dwarvish or Orcish society.

Female: Names from Dwarvish or Orcish society.
