Canon Information
 |
This section contains canon info from officially published sources |
Twisted fusions of humans and animals[1], broken ones are the primary residents of Markovia, but they are also known in lands beyond. In some sources, primarily from Second Edition, they are referred to as "beast men"[2][3] or as "animal men"[1]. Despite their misshaped appearances, broken ones are unnaturally tough and heal wounds at a highly accelerated pace. The dietary and behavioral habits of a broken one typically relates to its animal heritage. In addition, a broken one may have a single special ability also derived from said animal heritage.[1]
The Common Broken One is the type most frequently encountered, outnumbering the stronger Greater Broken One by a factor of ten to one.[1]
Beyond Markovia, broken ones can also be encountered in the following domains: Darkon (mostly in the Mountains of Misery region)[4], Falkovnia[5], Forlorn[6], Lamordia[7], Hazlan[8], Nova Vaasa[9], and the Shadow Rift[10]. A psionic variation of the broken one, the Shattered Brethren, is the product of the biomancy practiced by the illithids of Bluetspur.[11]
