The Thanoi, also known as 'Walrusfolk', are short, stocky and strong. Whilst the elders are decidedly walrus-like in appearance - not least due to the large tusks and whiskers - the youngsters are not dissimilar from young dwarves. Thanoi lack flippers or any real grace in the water and are much better suited to trudging through the deep snowdrifts of their homeland.
