Wild dwarves, who call themselves “dur Authalar” (the People), are primitive inhabitants of Chult and the deep jungles of the realms. They have largely rejected the culture of their cousins, choosing instead to live in hunting bands with ever-shifting memberships. Dur Authalar have more in common with the beasts of the jungle than they do with their dwarven kin, viewing life as an endless hunt and each day a struggle to kill or be killed. Wild dwarves are dark-skinned, short, and stout, with dark brown eyes. Their heavily tattooed bodies are covered with grease to ward off insects and make them hard to hold. Wild dwarves wear little except their long, woven hair, which serves as adequate clothing.
