Troglodytes are a gentle race of subterranean humanoids, similar in habit to dwarves and Kobolds. However they are not as intelligent as either and tend to lead a sheltered, reculsive life deep beneath the surface. Troglodytes are rarely seen above ground and when they are, its usually at night. They possess the keeniest of nightvison seeing up to 600 feet. but their vision is weak in daylight, seeing only 30 feet. Troglodytes are very poor craftsman, and make crude stone tools and weapons. Troglodytes tend to avoid contact with most races, especially after the holocaust of the Elf-dwarf war.

Troglodyte men are instinctively the protectors of their people. They will not attack unless scared, threatened or attacked first. They can fight like demons when a trog child, female or loved one is threatened.. and then heaven help the one who made the threat.
