Mutabols
Mammalia, underground moles, that almost went extinct around 2900 g.c. They are the intermix of a long-muzzled black mole and a salamander. Were originally discovered in the city of Metabol, from where they have been eventually spread over continents by pirates and traders. Dwelt beneath the soil of villages, occasionally robbing their crops and spooking out night fire-camps. They were also digging dams and irrigating fields. Nice fellows, if approached carefully.
