Physical Description

Native jungle knuckles waiting patiently to find the way.

History

A princess gained her independence on the rising tides of fall. Since that fateful day, she was considered a protectorate of various local tribes. One of these days, their princess disappeared, vanishing, and these jungle people lost their way. The jungle tribes are, from what can be told in their extensive oral history, a half-breed of halfings and some malformed monstrosity. From that, the jungle knuckles formed, rarely birthing a princess. Once a princess is birthed, a brand new tribe is formed, spreading the jungle knuckle's way.

Society

Jungle knuckles worship their queen , as they know the way. It is considered a betrayal among jungle knuckles to quest if it isn't to find the way. They live in a primitive tribal structure, often travelling savannas and plains for game to hunt. They haven't really evolved beyond the clay and sharp stick stage, and don't seem interested in advancing if it isn't trying to save a princess or find a new way. Nearly all jungle knuckles are males, except for princesses.
