Description
Brownies are considered pests, for they are both prolific and obnoxious. Standing from 5 to 6 inches tall, they are usually Described as diminutive humanoids with brown skin, and brown or black hair, although, in truth, their hair and skin color can vary wildly.
They typically wear the fur pelts of mice, rats, and other small animals, though never those of squirrels, which they tame as mounts. Their culture is tribal, and often, warlike, although, they pose no real threat to larger races. They are particularly territorial when a group of them have found a source of food that requires less work than hunting, such as an inn, public house, or kitchen of one of the “big folk”.
Brownies, just like rodents or certain insects, can become problematic when not dissuaded, and their lewd and base senses of humor make them the bane of upper class establishments.
Some brownies have been known to "bond" with people, becoming almost fawning servants in exchange for good treatment and baked goods. Honey and milk are particularly of interest to them, however, having an attached brownie is seen by most to be about on the same level as having stepped in dung.
