Xvart

Xvarts are small (3 ft. high) blue-skinned humanoids,generally evil in nature, somewhere between the strength of goblins and kobolds. Xvarts worship the god Raxivort and favor short swords, daggers, and nets for catching and killing prey. They have an affinity for rodents (mice, rats, bats, and so on); once per day a xvart can speak with animals as a spell-like ability to speak with a rodent. This ability is innate to xvarts (and is similar to a gnome’s ability to communicate with burrowing mammals).
