The Korog resemble tall men, but with a head somewhat like that of a hairless horse with long teeth, and smoldering, malevolent eyes. Standing between 6 and 7 feet tall, the Korog are typically quite thin, weighing around 150 to 180 pounds. They possess horse-hooves, and their natural coloration is dull grays and light browns.

Various Korog \"castes\" exist, with differing abilities, but adventurers most frequently encounter the technician and warrior castes. All Korog technicians carry a silver wand with them at all times for self-defense. These wands can be used by non-Korogs, but they carry only five charges and can only be recharged in the Korog laboratories beneath the earth.

Korog warriors may use any weapon or armor, but prefer exotic weapons and light armor. The Korog are the ancient race of beings from which the wizard Iomnogoron evolved (see The Spire of Iron and Crystal from Frog God Games for more information). Few yet live, but some of these still continue very limited operations in the deep, dark places beneath the earth, collecting surface essences for their machinations in deep underground strongholds.
