Lacking in discipline, cunning, and stealth, Grall rely on their strength and rage to do that which they do best…kill and destroy. When a band of Grall descend upon civilized lands, they will raze settlements and put to death any living creature they come across. They have no concern for their own lives, living only to be unleashed upon others.
For many people, their first encounter is their last. Those who survive an encounter with the Grall will never forget it. Standing nearly a foot shorter than a typical man, Grall are squat and wide with an over-pronounced musculature. Their arms are half again as long as would be normal for a man of their height. Grall often lope along on all fours when charging into battle. Blocky heads top their torsos with small, squinty eyes and an elongated snout and mouth which is frozen in a perpetual angry sneer. Their skin is a ruddy, reddish-brown and typically covered in scars and scaly growths. Like other Urzuvas, Grall are hairless.
Grall will take whatever spoils from the fallen which will increase their destructive abilities. This includes armor and shields–despite their lack of self-preservation–as both can extend the time that a Grall can kill and destroy. When not attacking others, Grall will fight among themselves with the victor taking the spoils. Fortunately, this internecine violence helps to keep groups of Grall relatively small.
Even these smaller groups are still a grave threat to travelers and small settlements. Cunning tactics and strong defenses which take advantage of the rash and careless violence of the Grall can usually lead to eventual victory over these brutes. The clever plans of adventurers may even allow the fight to be taken to wherever the Grall have holed up.
When brought under strong leadership, strong enough to dampen their internal strife, groups of Grall can grow relatively large. With a powerful enough leader, significant enough numbers can gather into a horde to threaten any land.
