Editing Magera

{{NeedsImages}}

'''Magera''' are a race of large, savage, primitive humanoids who entered [[Dark Sun]] canon in the [[netbook]] "Terrors of Athas", a fan-made [[Monster Manual]] for a fan-made [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]] update of the setting. They have the dubious honor of being perhaps the most redundant and pointless addition in the entire netbook.

Y'see, magera are basically Athasian [[ogre]]s. That's literally all there is to them. They're big, vicious, cruel, tribal humanoid brutes who inhabit the caves and mountains of Athas, preying on anything that they can find - including humanoid caravans and villages. Their leaders tend to be surprisingly smart and are often powerful [[psion]]s or [[Defiler (Dark Sun)|defiler]]s, but that's as far as it goes when it comes to their lore. They were probably inspired by the [[Prism Pentad]] novels, but really they don't offer much to the setting and could easily be replaced by just a community of evil [[Half-Giant]] [[bandit]]s.

They do come with a playable PC statblock, which is something, we guess.
