Additional Information
Social Structure
Troglodyte leaders were decided by sheer strength, with the strongest and toughest troglodyte becoming the chieftain, and the next strongest warriors becoming sub-chieftains. This was regardless of gender. However, weakness of any kind from their leaders was grounds for mutiny. Troglodyte society was clan-based, and the rank system was loose and in a constant state of flux. Because they were once a servitor race, troglodytes would submit to the most powerful entity wishing to rule them, although this was usually other troglodytes.

History
Troglodytes where made from Dragonborn who were slaves to a white dragon. These specific Dragonborn worshipped Laogzed, the Abyssal demigod of Gluttony. They worshipped him for their belief that they should be relaxing, instead of working. They formed cults around this god. They eventually would go through a ritual to become more in his image. It succeeded, and the Troglodyte was first made in 60wr. They would escape from Ovak using an iceberg. Upon landing in Godsen, they began eating and pillaging anything and everything they saw. They were slowed down during the introduction of Orcs, but they have always been a dangerous race. Even the Calamity event didn't slow them down. Some, however, have fled into the underdark.
