Pocci
Basic Information
Anatomy
Poce are brown with very light fur, and have bushy facial hair. Their eyes are solid black with a small white pupil. They have big domed heads, and are typically fat and blubbery to help them stay warm in cold climates. Older males have 4 tusks, 2 protruding from their top jaw, and 2 from the bottom. While all Poce have tusks, younger males only have developed the upper set enough to be visible, and females rarely develop either set enough to be visible at all. Poce have big arms with webbed hands. They do not have legs, but rather a large tail lined with 2 giant fins. They use their arms to help them swim, and drag themselves surprisingly fast through the snow, using their tail like a sled. They are however inefficient for moving through much else.

Tusk Attack: Adult Poce often grow powerful tusks. Poce may choose to use their tusks as their unarmed strike. It gives a +1 to the WDR of an unarmed strike per tusk, this bonus damage is considered piercing in addition to the base bludgeoning of an unarmed strike. Only Poce with protruding tusks can perform this action. Some Poce will extend their tusks with metal or plate their tusks with spiked metal barbs and blades. This adds an additional +1 WDR per plated or extended tusk and a +2 WDR per barbed tusk.
