Boogin

Boogins are brutish, hairy orc-quaggoth crossbreeds sometimes known as “spider killers,” a nod to the constant pressure from drow slavers. These half-breeds are more like quaggoths than orcs, though slightly weaker and more in control of their rages than their beast side.
==Ecology==
===Characteristics===
Boogins closely resemble their quaggoth ancestors in physical appearance, although they have less facial hair and orcish snouts. They are nearly as tall as quaggoths, standing 6 feet 6 inches on average, but a little lighter, lacking somewhat in muscular development. Their fur is a grayish white, shading to black in patches. These relatively primitive creatures speak a mixture of orcish and the quaggoth dialect of Undercommon.
===Society===
These orc-quaggoth crossbreeds can be found in either orc or quaggoth society or in communities of their own. They are generally held in high esteem among orcs and magic-following quaggoths and in low esteem among beast-following quaggoths.
===Combat===
Boogins are familiar with the use of most weapons used by orcs or quaggoths, preferring those that cause the most damage in the least time. They enjoy attacking from concealment and setting ambushes, and they obey the rules of war (such as honoring a truce) only as long as it is convenient for them.
==Homelands==
Boogins are most commonly encountered in the upper reaches of the Underdark where orc and quaggoth populations live in close proximity. Gangs of boogins have been encountered beneath the Spine of the World, which lies above the largest population of quaggoths found in the Realms. Mixed tribes of orcs, quaggoths, and boogins are found beneath the Trollmoors, where orc tribes have interbred with Quaggoth clans that “followed magic” to form new Underdark tribes to resist outside slavers.
