Nagdyr

To win, you have to survive, no matter what.


Origins

Nagdyr are frequently called ratfolk, a name which is extremely offensive to them. Given that a nagdyr certainly LOOKS like an anthroform rat, perhaps the appelation has some merit. But it is never a good idea to make a nagdyr angry with you.

Nagdyr are an animal totem race, and as such they are quite old and solidly entrenched in the lore and history of the world. Most races take one look at a nagdyr and instantly think their animal totem is a rat, and to be fair, they look a lot like rats. Their face is heavily muzzled, they have fur, they walk and move in a feral hunch at the best of times, and can drop to all fours and move around with ease.

What is their totem animal? The rat, of course.

Now, many Nagdyr claim they are actually badger totem creatures. And it is true, many Nagdyr have the temper and savagery to prove it, locked away under a thin veneer of civilizing influences.

To many Nagdyr, assertions of rat ancestry are enraging, and given their temperament, it's always wisest to keep such discussions discrete.
