Korobokuru

Small humanoids that live in the wilderness, korobokuru live in simple villages and get by from farming the land. Outside of their homesteads, they generally avoid contact with the outside world.

The korobokuru have slightly longer arms in proportion to their bodies than humans, and have big, bright blue eyes with large round noses. Wild hair covers their heads, and also their arms and legs.

The stereotype that humans in Kara-Tur have of the korobokuru is that of comical and boorish humans and this reputation is resented by the korobokuru.

Korobokuru look wild and unkept, and favour simple clothing that is usually loose, in muted colours similar to the environments that they inhabit. The most colourful parts of their outfits are generally the stones that they wear on leather straps around their necks and the flowers that they wear in their hair at times.

Generally, korobokuru challenge all unwanted trespassers, but occasionally they invite friendly visitors to participate in special rituals that are conducted by the tribal elders, and it involves tea and burning incense. If the participant completes the ceremony, he is accepted as an equal and are welcome to the hospitality of the settlement.
