Humanoid scavengers with orange skin, ruffled ears, and a tactical approach to combat
A Barrode is a humanoid creature standing roughly 5 feet tall, with squat legs, elongated torsos and arms, and large ruffled ears. Its skin is typically orange and its eyes range from purple to light gray. With rare exception, the only hair on a barrode's body is found on its arms and legs.
While determined and ruthless in battle, a barrode is not wholly devoted to war or violence. This means that it is known to engage in negotiations with an enemy should it prove opportune or should otherwise be at a disadvantage.
Typically grouping in bands of scavengers, barrodes will try to overwhelm their opponents with large numbers. A particular tactic that is employed by bands of barrodes is to surround an enemy and, with the enemy distracted, proceed to pull off armor and steal weapons in order to render them helpless. Once the group of barrodes is defeated, the stolen items will be unharmed and thus available for recovery. However, it is also common for a barrode pack to make off with their ill-gotten gains at the first opportunity, attempting to evade pursuit at all costs.
