Grubar

Humanoid race native to Emmith and descended from dwarves. An unusual adaptation gives them a biological defensive shell which they can close by extending the chest shell up and the back shell over their heads and connecting the two. Their tribes control most mountain areas, and have the most metal weapons and tools on Emmith, which they occasionally trade.
