Pog (5e Race)

Pog

Physical Description

Pogs are lava elementals encased in rock, which can be any kind of rock that is found in the nearby environment. The amount of their body covered in rock is up to you. They have floating, cartoony eyes and mouths that hover about 2 centimeters from their face. Their arms and legs are about one and a half times the length of a human's arms and legs.

History

Pog history is set on the plane of magma. Originally, Pogs were slaves to the Azers, providing magma without mining. The Pogs, infuriated by their arrangement, used their azerforged weapons and natural strength to plow through the Azers. However, the Pogs were forever changed by slavery. They became superchaotic, doing whatever they wish.

Society

Pogs are adventurous creatures, wanting to quest. They eagerly join adventuring bands, and are typically rangers. When two Pogs meet, they team up, becoming an unstoppable force.

Pog Names

Pogs have odd, harsh-sounding names.

Pog names: Yerbob, Funkong, Piznog, Quesarug
