By Yanied Gnarlers are so named for two thick tusks that protrude from the bottom of their chins. These tusks grow upward and curl about as they reach as high as the creature's small forehead. But these are far from the gnarler's main weapons. They are merely used to attract mates. When it comes to fighting, gnarlers are prolific users of weapons. After having moved from their native swamplands to areas encroached by war, many learned to use deadlier weapons, though they mainly stick to big swords and blades. The thick trunk-like arms of a gnarler grow spurs that can be ejected out to stab enemies who try to evade them from a distance. These barbs shoot out from pores that line their thick forearms.
