Homebrew Crodidakian Species Details

Originally, Crodidakian psychology was highly primal, with the intellectual subspecies reigning at the top, but as time passed, the Crodidakian's differences soon evened out to be strictly physical. They have become much more humanoid than once believed, and have made lengths to shed a weak beastly past. Mostly seen wandering alone and rarely seen in groups larger than a few dozen, Crodidakian are seemingly nomadic solitary hunter-gatherers on the surface, but occasionally assemble in underground homes hidden in cave systems. Led by Elders, Crodidakian orally passes on their histories and memories. These stories are kept secret from non-Crodidakian, with scholars only able to speculate and piece together what little has been overhead. Crodidakian tribes' sole purpose is the continued balance of the wildlands, leaving nothing to waste. Despite being omnivores, Crodidakian consist mainly off wild fruits and vegetables, only eating meat when they find a dead or dying animal. Given a large enough animal, the Crodidakian tribe will assemble to quickly scavenge the body, before once again disseminating it into the wilderness. In times of great imbalance, Crodidakian Elders form a council to plan a response. These cases are few and far between. The Crodidakian are a rather primitive society when compared to other races, and build their structures underground. The Crodidakian prefer to keep to themselves, however have fought and allied with humans and other races in the past. It is even said that they offered gifts to the humans in return for some of the technology that the humans have been given by the Dwarves. In the present day, The Crodidakian's numbers are dwindling, and they prefer to keep to themselves in their underground strongholds.
