ABOUT

Qutrub are scavenging, earthly genies the size of a human with thick fur and canine heads. They eat corpses and scavenge from the dead, drawing magical power from the flesh of intelligent creatures. Qutrub prefer to inhabit ruins in inhospitable wilderness, ranging out to find prey or simply taking the bodies of those who have fallen to the elements of other predators.

Qutrub are intelligent and can talk but dislike doing so with potential meals. They often make deals with bandits, tyrants, and organized criminals, trading their physical might and spellcasting for more regular access to corpses.
