Editing Glorantha (section)

==Creatures of Glorantha==
'''Broos''' are creatures of chaos. As they can fruitfully mate with anything, they have the body of a man and features of their animal parent, often [[deer]], [[goat]]s, [[antelope]], [[cattle]], and [[sheep]]. The animal parent normally dies when the child eats its way out of the host at full gestation. They worship Malia, the Mother of Disease, and Thed, the goddess of rape and mother of Chaos.<ref>Stafford & Richard (2012), page 97</ref>

'''Scorpionmen''' are belligerent and resemble [[scorpion]]-human [[centaur]]. They are stupid, vicious and live in violent [[matriarchies]] with a religious emphasis on devouring. They are chaotic in nature.

'''Ducks''' or ''Durulz'' are flightless humanoid [[duck]]-like creatures who have arms rather than wings (or men cursed with feathers and webbed feet). They have unknown ancestry and may descend from cursed humans or cursed ducks. They reside around rivers, mainly in Sartar, and have an unexplained mystical affinity with Death.

'''Aldryami''' or Gloranthan [[elves]], are plant people. They worship nature and the sun and Aldrya, deity of plants, specifically. In contrast to [[Tolkienesque]] [[elves]], they are alien, physically plant-like and unfriendly to "meat men" (humans). Like many other fantasy fictional elf races, they are excellent archers.

'''Mostali''' are machine-like [[dwarf (mythology)|dwarves]]. They are [[xenophobic]], [[Orthodoxy|orthodox]] and insular. They have invented [[iron]], which has many extraordinary magical properties in Glorantha, contrasting to the primary metal used [[bronze]].

'''Uz''', the [[troll]]s, are the race of darkness, large, intelligent, astoundingly [[omnivorous]], with a very developed [[sonar]]-like sense (''darksense''). Their societies are matriarchal, and they worship, among others, a goddess of darkness called Kyger Litor, mother of the Trolls, and the more violent and sinister Zorak Zoran.

'''Dragonewts''' are a magical race made up of forms of [[neotenic]] [[dragons]]. They are engaged in a cycle of self-improving [[reincarnation]]. They are alien, with an incomprehensible mindset. They must have oral surgery in order to speak human languages.
