Gutten

== Gutten ==
Dwellers of caves and tunnels, the gutten are rarely found in locations void of open bodies of water. The gutten are a smaller species of humanoid, measuring about four feet tall, and often hunched to appear much shorter, but are noted for their high levels of natural ferocity and aggression. Gutten dens can vary tremendously in size, and some instances of dens numbering in the thousands have been previously qualified. 
Being creatures of low-light and water-filled environments, the gutten have smooth grey skin suited for swimming and have highly developed senses of hearing and smell, but only the most basic form of vision. Gutten teeth are often collected by veteran hunters of the Azilaen North, and worn in necklaces or bartered in competition; though they hold no real value. 
There is some capability among gutten to communicate using Common Tongue, or, more commonly, Azilaen or the language of Grey Dwarves, it can more likely be attributed to a recognization and recall of sounds than any actual understanding of language. Gutten are extremely efficient hunters of fish and small game, often rodent or bird, but only utilize the most basic of tools to accomplish their needs. 
Mouths of the gutten are unusually wide; in comparison with most other species, as are their other facial features excluding eyes; and are lined with several thousand needle-like teeth that can make short work of an unarmored and unsuspecting explorer. They are children of the god Daediles and often hunt fishing holes empty; they have been known to eat until their stomachs burst.
