Overview[]
The monstrous humanoids known as beastmen were created by the Zaharans in the centuries before the Empyrean War. Through magical research, they combined humans and humanoids with beast stock in repeated cross-strains. Their creations included bugbears (hobgoblins and bears), gnolls (gnomes and trolls), kobolds (lizardmen and dogs), goblins (gnolls and dwarves), hobgoblins (men and goblins), ogres (men and gorillas), orcs (men and boars), and trolls (ogres and hydras).
Centaurs (men and horses), lizardmen (men and giant draco-lizards), minotaurs (men and bulls), and troglodytes (lizardmen and giant chameleons) are generally classed as beastmen as well, though they were not bred by the Zaharans.
