Svirfneblin

Svirfneblins

 

Physical Description: Svirfneblins are eerily similar to gnomes in proportion and stature, suggesting that the two races may share a common ancestor. Serious-appearing creatures with slate-gray skin, svirfneblin are always bald, but males sport enormous bushy-white beards and moustaches no matter how young they are. Their eyebrows are bushy, but are not as long and feathery as gnomes’ are. Bulbous noses dominate their faces.
