Ka'Tanarruk - the Deep Orc Tieflings

Ka'Tanarukk - Medium Size Outsider

The Ka'Tanarrukkah (plural, singular: Ka'Tanarruk - or, as they call themselves: Ka'Rukh) are Tieflings - the result of a Deep Orc mating with some demon or other long time ago, and then the resulting halfbreeds breeding with other orcs. Nobody said it was simple or delicate.

The Ka'Tanarrukk believe that the surface lands are swallowed by fire, as they have been told so by their demon and half-fiend leaders. However, they also believe that this should make them ripe picks for the Ka'Rukh, who are resistant to such piffling things. Their penchant for cooperation (at least in small groups, as large group cohesion is more or less unknown among them) makes their threat for the Shallow Underdark as well as the Surface Lands very real, indeed.

The Deep Orcs are taken from a d20 supplement from the Guild Companion, and can be found here.

Physical Appearance:
The Ka'Rukh appear to be somewhat shorter than an orc, but immensely more muscular. With sulphur-yellow skin, all-red eyes and large, pointed ears, they are quite distinctly another sub-group of orcs. Seldom clad in much more than leather armor, they trust to their naturally tough skin to keep them from harm - unless they're expecting trouble, that is.
