Description

Pangolinmen stand about 4' tall. They are covered in dark, plate-like scales made of keratin, have long tails, short legs, and sharp claws. They have very long, sticky tongues.

Procreation

With each other.

Magic

One in five million have heart or soul magic. Mind and body magic are possible. Void is possible. Faith is common.

Special Powers

Pangolinmen have a good sense of smell, sharp claws, and, of course, tough armor with razor sharp scales. They are excellent at burrowing, climbing, and swimming. They curl up when threatened, forming an armored ball. They are good at problem solving and escaping, and their sharp claws are useful for stripping the bark from trees, and their tails allow them to hang from trees. Their saliva is sticky. They can create a powerful musk, if need be. They have no teeth.

Pangolinmen can tell when a person is near death, and they have an innate sense of when they are allowed to kill and when they are not. When they are allowed to kill, they are very deadly.

The powdered scales of a pangolinman can be used to slow the onset of death.

Weaknesses

Killing when they are not allowed drives them mad.

Culture

Pangolinmen live in small, matriarchal families. It is not uncommon to see a pangolinwoman carrying her children on her tail as she goes about her business. They live in hollow trees or burrows and form villages out of related families. The children are proverbially curious, and they are a very quiet people. Most other peoples fear them, because of their reverence for death.
