Dyr (Feral Goblins)

The Dyr are a subspecies of the Skratte, hated and feared for their ferocity and seemingly endless numbers. Though they frighten easily when there are few of them, in numbers, they are tenacious, vicious and swarm over their prey with no mercy. Found in the deep mountain passes and valleys, the Dyr are a scourge that whole Jarldom’s mobilize to eradicate.

Basic Information

Anatomy

• Goblinoid

Genetics and Reproduction

• The Dyr reproduce sexually at a faster rate than the Skratte. A female Dyr can have six to eight offspring every 12 months.

Growth Rate & Stages

• Dyr young grow quickly, though death rates among the young are high. Assuming there is enough food and room for the fledgling young, they reach physical maturity in 36 months, and sexual maturity at 4 Years.
• The easiest way to determine the age of a Dyr is to measure its teeth. From birth to death, their teeth continuously grow. Assuming that a Dyr lives long enough, they eventually die from starvation because of this. The teeth grow to a point where they can’t even close their mouths. In some attacks, the first warning that the victims get is the reflection of light on the teeth of the Dyr before it attacks.

Ecology and Habitats

• Dyr build warrens in high mountain caves. The bigger, the better. When they have outgrown the cave and the local food supply they “swarm” to a new area. Anything in their way gets eat or killed.

Dietary Needs and Habits

• Meat, meat and then a whole lot more meat.
