=Coon (barbarian/dark elf)=

Dark elves and barbarians alike revile coons, as do members of most other races.  They have no place in the society of their own people, and are forced to make their way in the world any way they can.  Very few organizations (usually underground organizations) or individuals accept coons, as they tend to be extremely violent, untrustworthy and unpredictable.  The term “coon” comes from barbarians, who named this racial group after a slender cat native to the northern mountains.  Known for its thick fur and rather smallish size compared to the leopards and tigers of the north, barbarians consider the coon as a rather weak breed, and as an easy hunt.  Compared to other barbarians, most Coons are smaller and more slender, making them roughly the size of an average human.
