Elecks

Elecks are a fictional species originating from the "Gloomhaven" tabletop role-playing game. They are a small, reptilian race known for their insatiable curiosity and affinity for tinkering. Physically, elecks are characterized by their scaly skin, large, expressive eyes, and prehensile tails. They possess a natural aptitude for understanding and manipulating mechanical devices, often collecting discarded parts and repurposing them into useful contraptions.

The elecks' society is communal and often nomadic, driven by their constant search for new materials and knowledge. They tend to be cautious around larger, more aggressive species but are generally friendly and eager to trade or share their discoveries. Their settlements, when they exist, are often temporary and built with an emphasis on practicality and defense, utilizing their engineering skills to create ingenious traps and fortifications.

In Gloomhaven, elecks are often depicted as merchants, engineers, or scavengers, contributing their unique skills to various endeavors. Their small size allows them to navigate tight spaces and observe situations unnoticed, making them valuable scouts or informants. While not physically imposing, their intelligence and resourcefulness make them formidable allies or adversaries. Their culture values ingenuity and problem-solving above all else, and they are always on the lookout for the next puzzle to unravel.
