Ecology
Derro Guard is a sentient species with its own culture, settlements, and political structure. It is most often found in underground regions. It is small-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Derro Guard is driven by culture, faction, and personal motive; can be reasoned with, bribed, or betrayed. Its alignment varies by individual or is irrelevant — it acts on instinct, drive, or whoever commands it. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember.
Origin
Derro Guard is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 2 (2020). Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
