Twisted Thugs are former humans, elves, half-elves and the like. They dont seem to form from races too different in height and build, but those races have their own variety of how things shape. Humans and elves (and mixture) seem to be best fit for making the thugs though.<br/><br/>Twisted Thugs are naturally fused with metallic weapons, usually to the point of gathering more. They have a rather nasty armor class, from pieces of metal embedded into their own forms, on occasions under the skin.<br/><br/>They are hard to hit critically as they may hide vulnerabilities under metal plates within their bodies. This gives them some, but not full fortification.<br/><br/>The twisted thugs dont tend to form en masse, as they are likely to kill one another if they form in groups of more than six, but sometimes such groups show a very powerful invidividual arise, leading the others to battle. Such 'thug bosses' are generally best killed on sight because they seem to have ability to organize some real trouble.<br/><br/>Most other things are uncertain if they are accurate or exaggerations, given the amount of talk going on about wild weird abilities, never confirmed by someone that survived the encounter.<br/><br/>They don't, at least its not confirmed by anyone, seem to possess any kind of spellcasting ability at all.
