Composite Mongrel, Take 2

Description

The earliest form of composite, Mongrels were created when fleshcraft was in its infancy and as a result aesthetics were not a priority in their design and many Mongrels are often asymmetrical.

The poor quality of their bodies often also means that many mongrels are slow of mind and have a delayed reaction time, but like the Brutes, their thick, muscled hides are resistant to most bladed and bludgeoning weaponry.

With the refinement of the process in recent decades, they remain one of the cheapest forms of composite vassals and remain popular with lesser merchant houses, who cannot afford the specialized Brutes and Striders.

The life of a Mongrel is often a miserable one; feared by the humans whom they are charged to keep safe and bullied by other composites for being weaker, slower or uglier.

However, a rare few find kindness in individuals or one another and it is not uncommon to see Mongrels in small groups, often led by the strongest or smartest amongst them.

Despite their reputation as the lesser guardians of Pardis, many legends circulate amongst the Mongrels of heroes amidst their kind, slaying monsters several times their size or holding off whole armies so their masters household can escape. It is these tales of heroism that comfort them and give them hope amidst the cruelty and rejection they endure.
