Scrags

Also see the scrag creature listing.

Scrags walk upright but hunched forward with sagging shoulders. Their gait is uneven, and when they run, their arms dangle and drag along the ground. For all this seeming awkwardness, scrags are very agile.

A typical adult scrag stands 9 feet tall and weighs 500 pounds. Females are slightly larger than males. A scrag’s rubbery hide is moss green, mottled green and gray, or putrid gray. The hair is usually greenish black or iron gray.
