In the "Dungeons & Dragons" fantasy roleplaying game, mongrelfolk are humanoids that are the product of several generations of crossbreeding between numerous other humanoid races. Each mongrelfolk, or "mongrelman," has a unique appearance, taking on various features from any or all of its ancestral races.

Mongrelfolk are often lawful neutral. Mongrelfolk are excellent mimics, and can reproduce just about any sound they have ever heard.

The mongrelman is presented as a playable character race in "The Complete Book of Humanoids" (1993), [Slavicsek, Bill. "The Complete Book of Humanoids" (TSR, 1993)] and is later presented as a playable character race again in "Player's Option: Skills & Powers" (1995).

ociety

Mongrelfolk worship the god Meriadar.While in older editions of Dungeons & Dragons mongrelfolk were defined as deformed outcasts, recent sourcebooks (Races of Destiny, Wizards of the Coast, 2006) gave them the special ability to appear as members of any other race (except that of the onlookerclarifyme). As such they mix into humanoid society by impersonation rather than being outcast.
