Tareks are muscle-bound brutes that are known for their great constitution and will to live. They look dull-witted, with their squared heads with sloping foreheads, and are about as smart as the average half giant. Their features
lend them a fearsome presence that has earned them a well-deserved reputation as dangerous foes. Tareks have a distinct musky odor that can be detected from as far away as 30 ft.  Xenophobic, hateful and hostile, tareks frequently find themselves in conflict with the other races of the Tablelands. A tarek is so fierce in its love of life that it can continue to fight when lesser races would have succumbed to their wounds.
