Greylings

The greylings are a legacy race, and as such, may no longer be created.

''Greylings are believed to be the grotesque result of Queen Grief's corruption of another race for stealth and intelligence purposes. Beneath her rule, they were imbued with more sadistic and cruel traits than now, but are still primarily considered 'evil'. Lacking much semblance of a culture now, greylings as a race still continue to be greedy, cutthroat, and xenophobic. They are extremely distrustful of other races, and actively seek to exploit others-this is quite opposed to their earthspawn counterparts.''

Most greylings speak Greyling.

Physiology
Height: Males and females both average between 3ft and 4ft tall. Weight: (needs more detail) These weights could increase or decrease based on muscle mass, diet, health, and/or height.

Build: Greylings are small, disfigured, and generally considered hideous. They have slight and naturally agile frames suitable for climbing and underground exploration. Due to this, they are frail and do not fare well in close combat.

Eyes: Red? (needs more detail)

Skin: Ranges from grey to green

Hair: (needs more detail)

Other Traits: Greylings have clawed hands to assist them with climbing and naturally, are potentially offensive. Females are similar in appearance to males, the only exceptions being the existence of breasts, their hair being longer on the head, less hair on the general body and higher pitched voices. They are highly intelligent.

Lifespans: (needs more detail)

Pregnancy: 11 months, with usually three children.

History
The greylings were created by Queen Grief during the first Great War for Altera as scouts, engineers, and battle fodder. It is unclear what race she perverted to make these monsters, though most scholars agree it was most likely halflings or perhaps elves due to their natural affinity for the arcane arts. They are believed to have lived primarily underground, as their physiology suggests.

At some point during the Great War, this race created the earthspawn but were later overtaken, their high intelligence and cunning not proving to be strong opponents to the earth-beasts' formidable strength.
