Mulangosts

The second species created was the Mulangosts (Moo-Lan-Ghosts). These creatures represent what one would think of when they see a dwarf, only that they too are much different from first glance. By day they forge in the deepest mountains of the North, creating the strongest and most powerful weapons and armor on Sylos. By night they venture out to kill their prey and control their land (legendary mountains). Very few have seen a Mulangost and lived. Their eyes glow blue in the dark, and they are at their most powerful state when there is no light. The Mulangosts are filled with dark energy, yet they separate themselves from the rest of the dark world. They are an independent species, trusting non-other than their own kind. They do not have faith in allegiances or alliances. They also differ from the dwarves due to their increased strength. While a dwarf may be able to carry 3 times his weight, a Mulangost can withstand 12 times their weight. Their skin is a dark grey, similar to that of a wolf. Like the wolf, they live in small packs, and they generally live between 500-600 years before they succumb to age. They are disease resistant, but still not immortal. They can however reproduce (unlike the Farkhan), although due to their life style very few Mulangosts are born. You usually will see 2 or 3 new Mulangosts born every 100 years. The Mulangosts are also able to turn into large bears. They can shift from dwarf, to bear, to a mixture of both. Because they do not pledge allegiance, few have seen Mulangosts in war. But of those who have seen them in battle, they have raved about the half-bear half-dwarf beings who ravage their enemy.
