=== Dreck ===

	Scholars still argue over whether or not the Dreck race is a variant parahuman at all, or simply a highly specialized branch of Crudag brought about through long isolation. Whatever the case, their divergent traits have enabled them to thrive in the inhospitable uplands of the north.

	As the controversy over their origins suggest, Dreck are visually indistinguishable from Crudag, although they are more racially uniform, tending to have fair or pale complexions, pointed noses, shallow eye sockets, and a pronounced forehead slope. It is the appearance and functionality of some of their internal organs that lends the most support to their classification as a sub-specie. Dreck have kidneys that are about 17% larger and more efficient than in Crudags, while their bowels are host to a unique form of flora that is speculated to improve their digestive capability. Their superior water-storage and nutrient processing, as well as super-keen eyesight have made them well adapted to life in the cold and dry mountains of northern Otovan. Psychologically, there are few differences between Dreck and their close relatives and so their societies are as varied and complex, if more independent, owing to their existence in deep wilderness or inhospitable mountain ranges.

	Dreck are found primarily in northern and central Otovan, particularly in the Hesperi, Quanaradi, and Bambilo mountains. Less numerous but still sizable populations are located in the western spur of the Stadden Mountains and the Serusilen River Basin. It is unknown just how plentiful Dreck are, but the reports of explorers and tradesman have led some to suspect that they may compose the majority of the Hangritic population.
