| GROGS
Cataloging all
the Grogs would require a tome the size of a medieval beastiary.
Their origin is in the DNA-shaping science of the Lifeweavers.
They come in all shapes and sizes, from viciously cunning
modified rats to multi-legged behemoths which could step over a
bull elephant without raising a redwood-sized leg high at all.

Most people consider the Grogs just as bad as the Kurians, part
of the same menace. While they were right during the days of the
Overthrow, the Grogs have since been give areas of their own,
perhaps as a reward for loyal service, and some groups of them
act as free agents. None are particularly friendly to man, but
alliances have in fact been formed under special circumstances.
When the Paramount Kurian Lord known as the Lich King of
Seattle's vassals started feeding on Grogs in the Pacific
Northwest, some of them allied themselves with the Freehold
Western Confederacy in opposition to the Kurians.
There are large, grey, slab-skinned Grogs which move like
mountain gorillas and shoot like Olympic marksmen. There are
moderately sized flying Grogs popularly known as gargoyles. Some
stretches of ocean team with fish-frog creations, goggle-eyed
and toothy. They attack anyone left vulnerable in the water,
taking out a grapefruit sized chunk of flesh then waiting for
the victim to bleed to death. There are long snakelike Grogs
that look like an old tree trunk covered with debris until they
bite you in half. Human DNA seemed to be a popular base with the
Kurians, they have created Tiger-men, Ox-men, desert-stalking
Lizard-men and ponderous Bear-Men. While none of these creations
have been successful on their own in the wild, every now and
then a Nomansland wanderer will come across and enclave of
bizzarity living in a ruined town like a broken down freakshow.
Pity them or fear them, that is the question... |
