Variant Gnorri

The gnorri who are most likely to interact with surface
dwelling people (and are thus the ones focused upon
in this section) are but one variant of a diverse species.
Deeper waters host other types of gnorri that have
different hues of skin color. Each of these variants has
slightly different abilities, as summarized below.
Black Gnorri: The deepest ocean trenches are the

domain of gnorri with inky dark flesh. These gnorri
have the see in darkness universal monster ability and
+2 Intelligence instead of +2 Wisdom.
Brown-Green Gnorri: This mottled variant dwells
in coastal swamps and is more comfortable out of water.
They have a land speed of 25 feet but lose amorphous
entrails.
Red Gnorri: These gnorri hail from deeper
waters than typical gnorri. They gain a +2 bonus to
Constitution but lose the ability to grow a fourth arm

knew what we are, we should do as

possess cold resistance 5 but suffer a –2 penalty on
saving throws against fire effects.
