The Galdur
The Galdur are a primitive tribe people that looks like a mixture of a rat and a cat without fur. Overall they are seen as cowardly, sadistic and greedy race, but some Galdur have been able to show other traits.
As a primitive race they still have some beliefs that would be described as uncivilized. Cannibalism and consumption of other humanoid races is common for the Galdur as they believe that consuming an organ will grant the eater the organ's energy. So consuming a heart will heal you faster, eating a liver will help you process poison, and consuming testicles will make you more fertile. This has led to the common act of Galdurs shouting out organs such as "Heart!", "Spine!", and "Balls!" in Galdur after killing a prey to mark which organ belongs to them.
Galdurs have been noted by some scholars as the natural scavengers of Acroshia, they never let anything go to waste. Galdurs even go so far as to skin their own kin for leather or using their bones for trinkets or even weaponry. If they find anything that isn't burried out in the desert they'll use every part of that creature and eat what edible meat they have, from Human to Capra Demon there's nothing that is too sacred to scavenge from. Some scholars have even argued that Galdurs probably themselves see scavenging as a sacred act.
Animalistic in nature, Galdurs are known to run on all four to attain higher speeds, which is both a boon for when they have to run away or when they do a suprise raid. Their origin is still a bit unclear as some people assume that they're Goblinoids who have adapted to the desert climate of Acroshia. This seems like a sound theory as their group tactics that can let them take on foes that they individually wouldn't stand a chance against just like Goblonoids, and they even have a somewhat short stature even if Galdurs are taller. But they've also been linked to rats and their primitive behaviour which leads them to work in tribes seem too primitive even for Goblonoids.
