Ta'rukk

The first of the Rukk species, from which all others are derived, the Ta'Rukk are massively powerful, hunched over humanoids with boarlike faces and large tusks. Long, prehensile tails help balance their enormous shoulders and chests, and the fires of hell themselves burn in their red eyes.
