Culture

Nodds eat intelligent beings' thoughts. In their own societies, they have farms, slave pits, & trade that supplies this delicacy. In normal society, however, most give up this vice.

Nodds live in shallow caves, where they study & read, if they can, or torment victims & take their thoughts.

They tend to be solitary & strange, thinkers & scholars.
