+ | These small lizard-like men are common on Athas. They usually live the life of raiders, although occasionally a lair will be found. Silt runners move very quickly and have broad, flat feet. They can even run across silt for short stretches. |
⚫ | |||
− | Silt Runners live in tribal warrens, temporary camps spread between dunes and connected by tunnel. They use these bases as staging areas for raiding small communities or slow-moving caravans. As their name implies, Silt Runners move easily across loose sand and silt, preferring to hunt where the terrain works to their advantage. |

+ | Silt runners are tribal in nature, living in lairs of up to 200 individuals. These tribes are usually based on islands near the shores of the Sea of Silt or in a remote desert oasis. Silt runners consider elf a delicacy, and in melee they always attack any elves present first. Their natural speed usually makes this easy. |
− | Silt |
+ | Silt runners often inhabit the same types of islands that giants do. Giants are usually left alone by silt runners (who know when they are overmatched). The giants tend to view these creatures as pests or vermin, overrunning their homes. Unfortunately, they are just too fast to swat properly. |
