Derro

Derro are a chaotic-evil race of monstrous humanoids from the Dungeons and Dragons multiverse, they are a fusion of Dwarf and Human and prefer dark underground environments such as the Underdark - as such they are often found alongside other evil-aligned creatures such as the Drows and the Duergar.

History
Derro are monstrous creatures that are a mix of Dwarf and Human yet share a species-wide affliction of general insanity, as such almost all Derro display differing levels of strange, often homicidal psychosis and are thus prone to serial-killer style obsessions, to the point many engage in twisted quests of their own that can include anything from obtaining as many shiny gemstones as they can (by any means necessary) to killing as many members of a particular species as they can or anything in-between.

While Derro are homicidal and insane they are also often cunning and may disguise their intents, pretending to be vulnerable or friendly, only to betray and horrifically murder, enslave or torture those who are foolish enough to fall for their tricks.

The Derro way of life and madness is further embodied in their patron deity, Diirinka, who has domain over cruelty, knowledge and magic - in some settings it is also suggested that Derro were driven to insanity and chaos as a race by the actions of the Illithids.
