| Description | A cower appears to be a small human (about 3' tall) with dark hair & eyes & a terrified temperament. |
| Procreation | With each other to make new cowers. With other pseudohalflings, it follows the mother. |
| Magic | One in one million have soul magic. One in five thousand have heart magic. Mind magic, body magic, & void are all possible. Faith is not unheard of. |
| Special Powers | A cower lacks any of the normal shellen or halfling abilities. Their taunting usually just gets them beaten. Their fear resistance does not exist. Their ability to learn languages is only average, & their wanderlust is impeded by their fear. The only thing they have going for them is that they instinctually know when danger has passed, & they can hide very well. |
| Weaknesses | They are afraid of everything. |
| Culture | Cowers usually live lives of servility to someone strong enough to protect them. Families bond to powerful people & serve for generations. Think house elves from Harry Potter, & you aren't far off. |
| Notables | Denette Bay, Champion of Betrayal |
