Mudt[edit]
A race of canine creatures, who inhabit muddy environments and live a simple and quiet life.
Personality[edit]
Extremely excitable and forever joyful, they have the most dog-like behaviour of any other canine race, a fact partially due to the fact that they seem to be, arguably, just quickly-evolved dogs, and their own growth cycle seems to support this.
They are very practical and sociable creatures, even to the point of carelessness, though they are still very protective and must be aware of their surroundings due to the harsh environment they live in.
Physical Description[edit]
Mudts have the form of humanoid dogs, with round or flat faces, black or pink noses, long, corded fur, usually of a light brown or grey and mostly covered in mud, wet or dry. They have animal paws on both their hands and feet, but can still manipulate items almost as good as a human can.
They like to wear simple clothes, almost all made with vegetal fiber that they gather from the marshes, mostly with earthly tones.
They create complex patterns on themselves with the mud they cover themselves with, patterns which invoke fear, that help to hide or with other social and sacred meanings.
Relations[edit]
They have very good relationship with peaceful races, at least when they meet other people, as their live reclusively in dangerous areas, and don't have that much chances to meet others. They are often in concflict with aggressive races that live where they do.
Alignment[edit]
Most mudts are neutral good, but other alignments are present too, though not many are evil.
Lands[edit]
They all live in marshes and swamps and other low wetlands, mostly out of sight from other creatures.
Religion and Society[edit]
They follow gods of the hunt and of nature and respect spirits and ancestors.
They live in primitive tribes, mostly surviving rather than thriving. Their children are almost indistinguishable from normal dogs, and have mostly the same level of intelligence and consciousness as them. After 5 years of development, they start to stand up and vocalize and ultimately grow in full-fledged adults.
Language[edit]
They are strangely proficient in multiple languages, such as Common, Aquan and Undercommon, which enrich their oral tradition. They also learn languages customary for their neighbours.
Names[edit]
Typical names are: Foony, Needdo, Accabo, Semplicious.
