Vanglore - Strong, brutish, heavily scarred race some have morphing ability


The Vanglore are an ugly but very strong hunting race that fight for territory in almost every environment. They use brute tactics to kill perceived enemies – both real and imagined.

Most Vanglorem are uncharacteristic as they rely on strength and internal power plays to determine their leadership. Often, when a leader is absent the group withdraws from any activity as they are accustomed to harsh penalties if they don't follow a leaders orders, even if its one that hasn't determined who is actually currently leading them.

A small subset of them have a unique magic ability: morphing. While most Vangalorem can morph their body to resemble the body of other races, few can change and adapt, by picking up a trait or useful skill to help the group.
