Martyrs

Martyrs by Stone Gargoyle

Martyrs are elf-like creatures with shaggy hair/fur, horns and hooves, often being mistaken for Satyrs. They are naturally muscular with fur all over with the exception of their face and chest and belly, and they have lion-like tails. Natural warriors, it is a common misconception that they were created as a minion race of a war god. In truth, they were created to be a weapon during the great elf/dwarf wars by wizards who grafted animal abilities onto elven volunteers. The process used to create them affected their minds, lowering their intelligence and turning them into savage creatures. They were ultimately too wild to control, and the magic used to create them prevented them from breeding with ordinary elves. Martyrs are extremely aggressive, ill-tempered creatures which fight anything they come across and feed on elves and many other bipedal creatures.
The elves have attempted to solve the problem they created by hunting Martyrs and killing any they find. Martyrs of course fight back, and have allied themselves with trolls and other evil creatures in the past.
