Red Oni

The red oni are nothing like their cousins the blue oni sung about in nursery rhymes. Red oni look much like their blue relatives in terms of build, but that is where similarities end. Red oni have skin as red as their name suggests, they tend to have white hair, and a pair of red, yellow, or ebony horns protruding from their forehead. They have muscular bodies made for combat, rippling muscles and built physiques are something to stand in awe of, as well as how hard they can punch, they have curved fangs coming out of their mouths that further add to their intimidating figure.

Tribal People. Red oni live in tribes with fellow oni of the same color, and hunt for food in that way. They are not directly hostile to any races that they come across, unless they are threatened or very drunk. Red Oni are drunkards almost on the level of the Dwarven people, and will gladly sit down with someone for a drink, even if they had one point been enemies.

Brutish Warriors. If you do end up combating a Red Oni extreme caution is advised. Their strength and endurance is nothing to be trifled with, however they aren't difficult to outsmart. Red oni usually only fight for their own safety or the safety of their tribe, and rarely air on the side of evil, but if that evil will help protect their tribe, then they may just work with them. Red oni respect only strength, so they can occasionally be found in Orc warbands as captains if the leader of the group was able to show the oni his strength in combat.
