Spiral Being (5e Race)

Spiral Beings

“	Digging tunnels. Day after day, that's my job. The more we dig, the more the village can expand. When the village chief is happy, he feeds us pig-mole steaks. Is that why I dig? For the steaks? No, not exactly. I also do it so I can dig up treasure.	”
—-Simon the Digger

Physical Description

The Spiral Beings look, act and sound like humans, in fact, they are incapable of being looked at differently by humans and are confused for humans, which they are humans. Some of these Spiral Beings may have different appearances to blue and green hair to oddly colored skin and weirdly thick hair on their chests.

History

In the distant past, there lived a race called humans, and they had a civilization called "humanity". After a long time, the earth was attacked by creatures called the "Anti-spiral". Centuries later, we see humans that escaped under the surface of the earth. These were the remaining Spiral Beings. Some of these humans lived boring lives as the same old people. Some humans have had enough of the same life and fled to the surface once more! Some humans were already on the surface, but many dangerous foes exist there too.

Society

All humans lived underground, expanding their villages and feeding their people meat of moles and drilling every day, all day until it was time for resting and getting up the next day and doing the same thing. After a while, the humans began to escape to the surface and live there once more and cooperating and helping one another.
