In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the tasloi are a humanoid race of jungle-dwellers. They live in the jungle canopy and are very quick and nimble in the trees.
A tasloi is usually chaotic evil in alignment.
[edit] Physical description
A tasloi is 3-feet tall with green skin and gold, catlike eyes. They have a stooped posture and their knuckles drag on the ground when they walk.
[edit] Society
Tasloi live in small groups consisting of several families. Their villages are constructed on platforms high in the jungle canopy. On the ground below the platforms they sometimes raise dire rats as beasts of burden and mounts.
In the Forgotten Realms campaign setting the tasloi worship an aspect of Maglubiyet, god of the goblins.
