Underfolk like to settle in murky and humid areas. They like living in isolation in their own small little families, roaming in their territory, gathering and harvesting, living inside houses they build on their own where they sometimes keep pets.
The original mother of the family, sometimes called a Trollmother or Underfolkmother, are the ones who "lead" over the family, always having the moral high ground and tending to be wise. '
Underfolk aren't keen on intruders, but will only attack if they are hostile, if not, the Underfolk like to speak with adventurers and other creatures, trading and talking with eachother.
Underfolk appear as large burly humanoids with large noses, small eyes and long hair, they wear leather clothing and carry large sacks that contain what they gather from their journeys.
