Tacos

Personality

Tacos can have many personalities, from a hot & spicy one, to a more serene, mild one, entirely depending on their contents. Hot sauces and exotic cheeses tend to add aggression to a taco's personality, while vegetables tend to relax a taco's personality to being something palatable for a wider variety of travellers.

Physical Description

A taco appears as a large, humanoid-shaped tortilla, enclosing cheese, as well as a ground meat, usually turkey or beef. Some Tacos may sport lettuce, grated cheese, diced tomato, sour cream, taco sauce, salsa, and onions, or any variation of those ingredients. A seasoned traveller may encounter special breeds of taco that lack meat, however these are exceedingly rare in comparison to their more meaty brethren. As they are almost as big as a normal human, these tacos can last proportionally longer before decaying, though they will typically be eaten long before their shelf life ends.

Relations

Tacos are well-liked by many, enjoyed by even more, and hated only by a few... as tasty dinner.

Alignment

As tacos are food items, they are almost always incapable of having any sense of morality, and are thus typically neutral in all respects. Non-meat tacos, however, tend more to chaotic alignments.

Lands

Tacos are often found at inns or other areas with kitchens, where they are created with tender love and care.

Religion

Tacos usually worship Fharlanghn, God of Roads, as they spend their short existences as fast food.

Language

Tacos can speak common, but rarely get the chance to do so.

Names

Male and female names: Burrito, Gordito, Taquito, Enchilada, Taco, and Chalupa.
