KNUCKLE-DRAGGER

KNUCKLE-DRAGGER

Brutish and massive humanoids in comparison to most adventurers, Knuckle-draggers, Draggers for
short, are actually a stumpy version of their cousins the ogres, with whom they share many traits. Most
notably their long, powerful arms, trunk like legs, and thick skulls.

When not in battle, Knuckle-draggers are most likely to be found eating something gross, lazing around,
or digging in their various orifices. This crudeness and lack of motivation is reflected throughout Dragger
society: dilapidated huts, unkempt caves, scavenged weapons and equipment, and no table manners
whatsoever. They do however excel in the aforementioned battle when pointed in the right direction with
great reach and leverage in the way of their namesake heavily muscled limbs. You would not be surprised
to find sweeping finger marks along the ground to either side of their heavy tracks when a dragger begins
to slouch.
