| Description | Genderuwa appear to be large, stout ape-like humanoids with thick, reddish black fur and extra crab-like limbs. Their young (called gandruwo) lack the crab-like extensions. |
| Procreation | Follows the mother, with other goblins. Halfbreeds may occur outside of race. |
| Magic | One in five million have soul magic. One in five hundred thousand have heart magic. Mind magic, body magic, & void are possible. Faith is not uncommon. All magic use is subject to wild surges. |
| Special Powers | Genderuwa's bodies shift constantly, erupting with new features a rate of about 1 per year. They can alter their size at will. They have an affinity for genn granc & the ability to vanish at will. Genderuwa can glamour to appear attractive and lure in mates of other races. |
| Weaknesses | Order magic or faith hurts them. Sometimes, mutations are not beneficial. Sometimes, they explode at random. |
| Culture | Genderuwa live dark, wet places. They hunt in small clans that fight each other as much as anyone else. To die peacefully is a shameful way to go in the minds of the genderuwa, and any fatal weakness will lead to a genderuwa being savagely ripped to pieces. They use their glamour abilities to lure in mates. They have a wide mischievous streak. The gandruwo will go through the Rite of Transformation randomly between the ages of 6 and 13. The Rite consists of a period of madness in which they see and hear things that may or may not be true visions. They will maim themselves and others, screaming incoherently in madness for five to ten days, and at the end of it, they will devour part of their own bodies. Those that don't devour something essential will then mutate a replacement and begin their growth and feast period, growing into full genderuwa. Genderuwa, the Brachokuk, are called the Twisted Horde by themselves and other goblins. |
