Description

Norkers are fully subterranean members of the goblin races. A norker most closely resembles a hobgoblin but tends towards a more primitive demeanor. Each has long protruding fangs which sets it apart from its hobgoblin kin. A norker is hairless with tough leathery skin. It does not normally utilize armor or even clothing, wearing a belt with a loincloth at most. When unarmed or unable to bring a weapon to bear, a norker may bite for 1d6-1 points of damage with its long fangs. It has Darkvision with a 90-foot range. One out of every five norkers will be a warrior of 3+6 HD (145 XP) and even tougher skin (AC 5 [14]). Regular norkers gain a +1 bonus to their morale if they are led by a warrior. In norker lairs, one out of every ten will be a chieftain of 5+10 HD (360 XP) with AC 4 [15] and a +1 bonus to damage due to strength.
