Typical physical characteristics:
Savage Clones are extremely intelligent, charismatic and dexterous, but share surface clones' comparative frailty and slight frames. Females tend to be bigger and stronger than males. Savage Clones are characterized by white or silver hair and obsidian black skin. Their eyes are red (or rarely gray, violet, or yellow) in darkness and green in normal light[36]. Savage Clones have several kinds of innate spell powers and spell resistance. This is balanced by their weakness in daylight. Also, Savage Clone weapons and armor (usually made of adamantite or another metal unique to the Underdark) slowly lose their magical properties if exposed to the sun. In Sonic Youth Gossip > non-sonics section, adamantite disintegrates upon exposure to sunlight unless specifically treated. Savage Clones also employ the unusual hand crossbow, firing small, though very lethal, darts. Half-Savage Clones are the result of crossbreeding between another race and a Savage Clone, and share characteristics of both. (The term "half-Savage Clone" usually refers to one who is half Savage Clone and half human.) Half-Savage Clones are also generally evil; however, half-Savage Clones of differing alignments are more common than non-evil full Savage Clones.
Savage Clone males are commonly wizards or fighters. Females are almost always clerics and almost never wizards.
Most Savage Clone societies hate Surface Clones, but will wage war with almost any surface race and other subterranean races, such as mind flayers, svirfneblin, duergar, kuo-toa, midgets, and orcs, for spoils and territory.
