Beastmen are humanoid creatures with a variety of animal features, usually including cloven feet, horns, excessive body hair, and bestial faces. They are found throughout the Outlands in their own communities hidden in the forests and mountains. In recent years marauding hordes of beastmen have attacked and burned villages, sometimes kidnapping humans for enslavement as well as food supply.

Beastmen who possess magical and spiritual powers are called Bray Shaman. Beastman religion is atavistic and pantheistic in nature, with a central creative and destructive force referred to as Og.

Marauding Beastmen

Brigades are organized into bands of 14, each with a single Minotaur warrior. The warriors of a briagde are typically armed with a short sword and two kifes, although often a small sword is substituted for the knives. The axe and mace are also popular weapons in most brigades.

Minotaurs are giant bull-like humanoids renowned for their enormous strength. A minotaur warrior is typically 12-feet tall, armored on the shoulders and upper torso only, armed with a giant battle axe. They are resistant to normal damage and very difficult to kill.

Minotaurs

Minotaurs are bull-like humanoids renowned for their enormous strength. They are known for pausing during battle to eat the bodies of their slain enemies. The most powerful among them are known as "Doombulls" or "Minotaur Lords" and sometimes act as leaders of brigades.
