Mongrelfolk
Mongrelfolk1 are peculiar patchwork humanoids who live in the tunnels of Nar-Voth. They can mate with nearly any type of humanoid creature, but the offspring of such unions takes on characteristics of both parents. There is thus very little conformity in appearance among mongrelfolk.2
Description
There is no simple way to describe the way a mongrelfolk might look. Their appearances vary greatly based on that particular individual's lineage. They have a multitude of features from many humanoid ancestries. Most mongrelfolk resemble deformed humanoids bearing collections of traits that do not belong together.2
History
Mongrelfolk are one of the groups of descendants of the Azlanti who hid underground to escape the destruction of Earthfall.3 Their ability to breed with almost any humanoid creature, adding new mutations with every generation, has led them to quickly adapt and survive the dangers of Nar-Voth.2
Habitat and society
Among the inhabitants of Nar-Voth, mongrelfolk are the most friendly and hospitable to surface dwellers, sometimes trading with them or providing shelter. This benevolence to outsiders is an attribute that has not garnered them many friends in those darkened tunnels.24
Religion
The mongrelfolk pantheon is culled from a wide range of other pantheons, with the most commonly worshiped deities being Gozreh, Pharasma, and Sivanah.2
On other worlds
These hybrids also live on the other planets of the solar system wherever inter-species cross-breeding occurs.5
