Durg
Durgs are arboreal monkey like creatures native to Malastare.
Colonised by the Gran, the Durgs have found themselves limited
to reservations or the fringes of Gran society, as such criminal
activity seams a natural career path. Durgs that do venture
off Malastare usually do so in pursuit of glory and profit.
Others continue to war between themselves and their Gran invaders.
Personality: Durgs come form a culture of,
if you want it take it, most are mean spirited with a propensity
for violence and a disregard for anyone or anything that gets
in their way.
Physical Description: Dugs are usually hunched,
though both arms and legs end in hands that can aid in climbing,
however most use the arms for walking on and the legs for
fine manipulation. The skin is grey and rubbery, often with
coloured splotches. The head is elongated ending in wide nostrils
above a small mouth.
Durg Homeworld: Malastare, though limited
to the fringes of the Gran colonies or Durg enclaves.
Language: Durgs speak Durg and most refuse
to learn any other language, demanding that those who wish
to deal with them learn to speak Durg.
Example Names: Sebulba
Adventures: Durgs are self-centred and motivated
by personal gain. Many have left Malastare since the establishment
of the Gran colonies and most gravitate towards the criminal
underworld and opportunity for a quick credit.
