Githzerai (/ˈgɪθzɛraɪ/ GITH-zer-y)

The githzerai were a humanoid race that dwelt primarily in the plane of Limbo. They descended from a splinter group of Gith, a race that had been enslaved by mind flayers for centuries until they rebelled for their freedom. Philosophical differences led to a long and bloody civil war among the Gith, who ended up divided into the militaristic Githyanki and the ascetic githzerai.
