Homebrew Hogger Species Details
Typically oily and disproportionately stout, a Hogger has a build similar to that of a dwarf, with the size of a half-orc accompanied with more than enough body hair and insulation to make winter survival a breeze. They range from a rustish-brown to a faint wilver blue in hue, commonly freckled with patches of darker tones of their coat where they're more susceptible to the cold.
