Tanarukk

They are just as tough as their mountain kin, but through this demonic connection have grown more vicious and possess an enhanced resilience thanks to their demonic blood.
- Ability Score Racial Traits: Your Constitution score increases by 2.
- Bite (1): Your fanged maw is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
- Demonic Resistance (2): You have resistance to fire damage.
- Demon Speak (x): You can speak, read, and write Abyssal. Tanarukks often mix orc and Abyssal into one mixed language when speaking to each other.
