Savage Races

Angadurgh, with its shifting climactic zones and occasional sudden upheavals has destroyed entrenched civilisations, and snuffed out nascent ones. However strange and exotic niche races have found room to persist, if not thrive. I have mentioned the Sky-pirate flying elves. Now I come to the Sasquatch. Indeed, bigfoot is alive and well - albeit as reclusive as ever. The legendary Sasquatch live in and around the islands of freezing polar climate. They seemingly come in two varieties - the high-mountain or sub-polar white Sasquatch, or Yeti, and the more commonly encountered brown furred variety that inhabits the surrounding sub-arctic and cool temperate zones.

These heavily furred, tribal humanoids are strong and enduring, as a race that preys on the giant Mastodon - while avoiding the Sabre-toothed Tiger would have to be. Averaging 7 feet tall and 300 lbs, they tower over their human cousins although they can disappear in a trice in their natural habitat.

This rounds out the main playable races that have already been assigned a place in Angadurgh. Doubtless more will come to me as I flesh out other parts of the setting (or would be players plead for their personal favourites).
