Homebrew Dremora (Death Worlders) Species Details

Description

The Dremora are in every term: Fearsome. Their eyes are hidden by a thin membrane of skin that prevents them from being seen. They stand at 7 to 8 feet tall, male or female. With skin colors ranging from deep red to grey and black. Horns much like a Teiflings sprout from their head. The Dremora's mouth is a vertical one, lined with teeth sharp and strong enough to slide into iron. Their 6 fingered hands end in bone that has grown over their finger's tips, and they have no feet on their digitigrade legs, rather owning two spikes of bone that sink into soft ground and anchor them into rock. 

The Dremora are large, heavily built, and dangerous. Yet they were still prey in their home-world. Larger, much more terrible things stalk the lands in which the Dremora had lived....Perhaps they will follow after their prey.

Culture

The Dremora once held a literal "The Strong Eat the Weak" mentality. Raids, slavery, torture; all were common back at their home planet, the struggle to survive and thrive brought out cruelty in the Dremora society. Now away from such threats, free to build and progress as they see fit, the Dremora have started moving away from such thoughts. Becoming much more spiritualistic and open to others.

However, due to their custom of eating the dead and burying little along with they appearance.... Dremora are often not welcomes among many places. Those that are accepted often be on their best behavior, either to try an change the outlook on their race, or to give themselves cover and room to breath.
