Tell me about Loxo in your World:)

[Tonguez]

Has anyone ever played a Loxo PC?

Have any DMs used they to effect?

and why on earth do they have two trunks?

 

[Nifft]

Bleah. They're up there with "Desmondu" in my hate of new humanoids list.

Nifft, why do you hate Desmond Tutu ?

At least, the Desmodu look like anthro-bats. Loxos, with their freaking twin-trunks, looks like muppet aliens in some bad 60's sci-fi movie.

So, in my world, the Loxo do not exist, never have, never will, even in the elephant-themed region.

I think the Loxo are cool, I see tons of RP posibilities with them. Encounter-wise. If one of my players wants to try to play one I'll probably have a stroke.

I'd probably use Loxos, but only by removing the secondary trunk and making the main one more like a regular trunk. Since it has hands from the picture, I don't see why it needs a pair of trunks..

I prefer the Nycters from MMIII to the Desmodu, frankly. The Desmodu are way too big, burly and flightless to be really bat-like to me..

and why on earth do they have two trunks?

One for their clothes and one for the kids.

I'm here all week folks. Tip your waitress...

Loxos are not new.

 

[Tonguez]

Yeah the two-trunks is a bit stoopid so if I did use them I'd be loosing that feature too

(I did a google and Loxo first appeared in Spelljammer (so yes they are muppet aliens from bad sci-fi) and it appears that the Loxo's hands aren't all that dextrous so they use their trunks instead - but why two I still don't know)

I think I'm enamored of them because of the 'Elephant man' in RE Howards 'Tower of the Elephant' which was the first Conan story I ever read. That race would be too powerful but the Loxo might be an interesting compromise

oh here's stats for Yag-Kosha (the Elephant man) from the Conan D20 site 'Hyborian Age'

Now that looks rediculous. This big ass elephant head on a guy? Meh.
