Disir The disir are a race of subterranean creatures known for
their disgusting appearance and hateful disposition.
Disgusting and Polluted
Disir have rubbery flesh that is pasty green-white, and
uneven areas of their bodies sprout a darker colored
chitinous shell. Their pores ooze a green jellylike
substance polluted with black specks of dirt. Disir stand
hunched over, arms habitually raised before them like
that of a praying mantis, displaying wicked claws. Their
head are similarly insectlike, though fleshy with wet
jowls around its cheeks and neck. Their lower jaws jut
out from their skull with tusks and a long, rasp-like
tongue.
Alien and Hateful
Disir are known only for their utter disregard for non-
disir. Swarming from the depths of their underground
homes, they are relentless in attacking and eliminating
those other races they find in their territory. Even
worse, the few survivors have confirmed that the disir eat
the dead, both their own and that of their enemies.
Dark and Terrible Vistas
Disir dwell deep beneath Krynn, far deeper than the
dwarves have ever delved, that is until recently. Only in
the last century were dwarves, greedy to discover more
lucrative veins of precious minerals, responsible for
breaking into the first disir warrens. The dwarves fled at
the horror of their opponents, but the disir have pursued
them and now threaten the surface world.
In Search of Prey
Disir adventure for one reason: to expand the reach of the
disir race.
Disir Names
Disir names are all but unpronounceable to non-disir.
Even when translated, the names amount to simple

monikers.

Warrior, Queen
