Editing Broo (section)

===The Present===
Broo today are a race of beast-people, marked by the features of various animals (most iconically goats, which they originally resembled in their pre-corrupt state) but also invariably further warped with diseases and Chaos-born mutations, which just adds to their general hideousness. They worship all of their divine parentage (Mallia for the most diseased, Ragnaglar for the most depraved, Wakboth for the most aggressive, and all regardless of other things hold Thed as their beloved god-mother (not godmother)). 

Their most infamous power is that they have the ability to "rape anything". No, seriously. As children of Thed, Goddess of Rape, and Ragnaglar, God of Madness and Perversion, Broo have the power to impregnate anything they choose to stick their dick into; the reason they look like many animals instead of just Satyrs is because they usually fuck animals and the resultant Broo-spawn usually more resemble their "mother" and gaining some traits from the father. We don't know if the progenitors need to be female, but since there are accounts of Broo raping and impregnating '''rocks''' ''and'' '''trees''', they can probably knock up male victims too. Some lore depicts Broo bursting from livestock like Xenomorph Chestbursters, but some lore relies on the mother surviving; it may be case by case or depending on what kind of Broo the father is, or simply another example of in-universe conflicts between sources of lore. 

Goats are the "traditional" animals for Broo, but any sort of animal  will suffice; sheep, cattle and pig-based Broo are the norm in Dragon Pass, for example. Predators are rarely targeted because they're more likely to kill the Broo as he tries to stick his dick in them.
Thed's own Portfolio means Broo don't just rape literally, they rape metaphorically; they rape music with their horrible caterwauling and cacophony of "instruments", rape reason with their insanity, and so on and so forth; in this way all beings and spirits are forced to confront the misery inflicted on her so long ago. 

Whether or not there are female Broo seems to depend partially on the sourcebook. Some assert that the Broo are all-male, as that furthers their need to be "children of rape". Others claim that there are female broo, though they tend to favor the Chaos Goddess Malia over Thed, because the latter hates them, and are rare (15% of the population, according to one claim). If there are female Broo, whether or not [[dickgirl|they can get in on the raping]] is unknown; fans have speculated that, due to the chaotic nature of the Broo and their spiritual connection to rape, female Broo may either instinctively know the spell that lets a birthing mother "share the pain" with the child's father and/or be able to directly impregnate the father himself, which would certainly explain why they're particularly ill-favored by the male Broo. 

If these guys remind you of a particularly [[Slaanesh]]i flavor of [[Beastmen]], there's a reason for that; [[Games Workshop]] created the Beastmen for [[Warhammer Fantasy]] to capitalize on the line of Broo models they had originally produced for [[RuneQuest]], before that contract went tits-up. Ironically, the Beastmen are ''toned down'' in comparison to the Broo.

Unlike Beastmen however, Broo are not Always Chaotic Evil. Broo are fully capable of being of the good alignments, they just usually aren't because who the fuck in an ancient world would raise the half-animal monster caused by being raped by a similar unthinking drooling murdermachine. [[Minotaur|That's the kind of shit that you throw in a cave or build a place to lock the creepy little thing in]], assuming you don't just bash its brains out with a club since it was born from your raped wife/mother/daughter/sister/pet dog/brother/tree in the front yard/self. As a cruel Aesop courtesy of Thed that very few beings learn from, rape victims that don't get proper support from society results in more rapists years later. Those that are abandoned are taken in by a Broo clan/horde which will add that hidden shame to their world-destroying mass of throbbing cocks (take that as an animal pun or not). In this way a few Broo can move into an area and increase their numbers by raping trees and deer until eventually they begin forcing themselves on villagers that keep the shame secret and abandon the newborn Broo to die of exposure, which are rescued by the clan which continues growing in number until its too late and they have a horde that destroys the city/civilization until there's nothing left to rape and they disperse in all directions to repeat the cycle elsewhere. Or, y'know, murderhobos come in and kill them all. 

BUT: on the off-chance the mother doesn't abandon her horrible offspring, and the community treats it with love and kindness like any other child, Broo become no different than any other being. In fact a well-known Glorantha character called the Wild Healer of the Rockwood Mountains is a kindly old Broo who fulfills the role of Dumbledore/Gandalf/Professor X etc. by acting as a mentor and father-figure to adventurers. Another Broo, Ralzakark, is a Unicorn-headed emperor of the Broo who is a mix of both good and evil who has an organized society far beyond that of most of the rest of the world, as well as a demigod daughter that represents the nature of freedom itself, but Ralzakark is also is vicious in war and has more than a little bit in common with the main character of American Psycho. There are enough non-evil Broo in the Lunar Empire that their army has an entire Broo regiment. 

The easiest way for a Broo to become non-evil is Illumination, a process by which an intelligent being realizes that part of what they thought to be reality is fiction (similar to CHIM in [[The Elder Scrolls]]) which frees them from the constraints of morality (not to the degree of "Chaotic Stupid" where you can do anything you want, merely that the idea of Cosmos VS Chaos becomes less Good VS Evil and more from a Taoist approach), any of the rules or reprisal of divine beings, and can manipulate magic that is otherwise impossible, allowing them absolute freedom. Since Illumination is heresy outside the Lunar Empire, it is mostly exclusive to Lunar Empire Broo.

Evil Broo live in two states. Feral Broo behave extremely primitive, alone or in small groups and simply increase their numbers by raping things. Wild Broo are Broo that live in tribes with leadership and shamans, and tend to be more likely to raid and take over territory from mankind.
