METALLOID CREATURE
Metalloid creatures once being common creatures that insane dwarfs and gnomes captured and treated to weeks of torture and dunking in melted alloy of different metals to try to ‘enhance’ the once normal beast. Though they gained much power an ability the metalloid creatures were not so joylessly welcomed by their original home lands like their creators said they would. Instead becoming outcast form their own society living alone usually in outpost near their homeland in hope that one day they can return or take vengeance on the ones who turned away from them and the ones that turned them into these outcasts.
