Deodands are intelligent, man-eating humanoids rumored to be borne of a sorcerous experiment. Deodands appear as handsome, muscular men with dull charcoal-black skin, long sharp fangs, and slitted golden or white eyes. The typical deodand prefers to wear a leather harness with bits of velvet or other rich clothes attached. A Deodand prefers to hunt with stealth and strangle its prey quietly. Though vicious and unremitting in his desire to eat other humanoids, the deodand is also cowardly. If obviously overpowered or reduced in hit points it will beg and plead for his life, often offering to guide a party. Adventurers should remain vigilant however if they take the creature up on any offer, as a deodand is not to be trusted. Instinct: Devours
