Onbaggian

Racial Overview
The Onbaggian are a race of half-Men, half-Wolf humanoids who claim the thick forests of southern Skentu as their home. Living in a more primitive fashion than many other races, the Onbaggian often refer to themselves as tribes. The elders of each tribe make decisions for the tribe as a whole, and, if there is one available, the oldest druid is often revered as the sole leader of the tribe. Despite the obvious political and social responsibility of the druid's stature amongst his or her kin, great decisions are not his or hers alone, and it is a time-honored tradition for the Druid to hold council with the other elders before making a grave choice that would affect the tribe as a whole.

The Onbaggian are considered the most secretive race on all of Natheria, preferring seclusion over any social endeavors. While very similar to the Minotaur in this respect, the tie between the Onbaggian and nature is much more intimate and meaningful than anything their bovine counterparts could hope to achieve. Having lived in and among the wild forests of Natheria for countless generations, the Onbaggian have established a bond with the world far beyond anything the other races can understand. So great is this bond that many Onbaggian believe that they were put on Natheria by the Ancients themselve, that the Onbaggian are the children of Natheria, rather than from a deity or supreme being. While other races see their existence as the proof of a divine presence, the Onbaggian see their existence as an extension of the world around them.

Onbaggian are slow to anger and slow to act in comparison to other Humanoid races. They are much more precise in their acts, and take the time to consider all the consequences of their actions rather than favor a quick solution. It is not rare for an Onbaggian to befriend a Minotaur, as the two races are very similar in their beliefs and in their values. However, Onbaggian are much slower to befriend the more industrious races, such as Humans, Aldrian, or Dwarves. It isn't rare for an Onbaggian to ally himself with an Illmathon before a Man, depending upon the situation at hand. While the wolf-men of the forests harbor no love for the brutal and cannibalistic Illmathon, they would prefer another tribal ally over what they view as a mindless consumer of Natheria.
