Ungers

Ungers

The Ungers are large, troll-like creatures with small beady eyes and long yellow tusks that jut out from wide, crooked mouths. Of all the creatures that live beyond the magic curtain, perhaps none frighten the Eens so much as the Ungers. They seem to be all claws and fangs, grunts and snarls, and they can grow to such immense size that they tower over Eens like mountains, with skin as gray and rough as boulders, and arms like pillars. Ungers are known to carry many weapons such as axes, clubs, and spears. They feed on a variety of fish and animals, though they will not eat creatures that can speak, such as animals from the Land of Een.

The Ungers have no particular homeland, but live in small bands scattered across the wilderness. However, they do gather once a year at the Door to Unger to celebrate the Festival of Greeve, along with many other monstrous creatures.

The Ungers have many beliefs and customs. There is an Unger prophecy that states that the Een marked with the symbol of a star will destroy Unger, though the meaning of this strange legend is not exactly clear.
