ABOUT

Laboring at forges in small, hamlets around Mount Ida, dactyls spend their days mastering the arts of metalwork. Dactyls resemble Neolithic dwarves with enormous genitals. They have dark, wiry hair and heavy brows that conceal their small, black eyes. They wear scant clothing. When battle calls, they dress in magical armor and use magical weapons Hidden Villages. Dactyls are wary and suspicious of outsiders. Most adventurers who seek them are either looking for favors or to steal from them. As such ,their villages are concealed and protected by guardians. These guardians may be elite dactyl warriors, korybantes, or some sort of creature.

Variant: Dactyl Miner

A few dactyl clans focus on mining ore rather than metalworking. These dactyls may be armed with heavy weapons such as hammers and picks. These weapons are no less magical than those their cousins use.
