	The tareks are a tribal people who live in small communities in the hills and mountains of Tyr. Whilst relatively advanced by the standards of Athas, they are notoriously xenophobic and quick to resort to raiding other races that are unfortunate enough to live or pass nearby. Whilst they will on rare occasions trade with other races, they have a well-earned reputation for using trade parlays as cover to set up ambushes for caravan raids, so, yeah, not a lot of people like them.

	'''Tareks''' are one of the many obscure humanoid races native to the [[Dungeons & Dragons]] setting of [[Athas]]. Introduced in the second [[Monster Manual\|Monstrous Compendium Appendix]], "Terrors Beyond Tyr", the tareks are a highly intelligent (average Int: 13-14) species who are described as basically resembling hairless apes; large, musclebound humanoids whose powerful arms are so long that their knuckles drag the ground, with square, big-boned heads that sport sloping foreheads, massive brow ridges, flat nostrils and domed muzzles full of sharp teeth. They are also stated to possess a strong musky odor in 2nd edition, although 4th edition drops this trait. Whilst they favor the use of the handfork and heartpick in battle, their massive fists are capable of pulverizing stone with a single blow, so they are more than capable of beating a man to death wit htheir bare hands.

-'''Tareks''' are an [[orc]]-like race native to the [[Dark Sun]] setting of [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. They are a deeply spiritual but physically imposing, almost ape-like race who live in secluded tribes in the mountainous regions of Athas. Like many Athasian races, they absolutely loathe and fear arcane magic, and thusly have an intense dislike of [[elves]], but they have a deep respect for priestly magic, and are themselves led by priests of [[elemental]] earth.

-Like the [[Ssurran]], they were introduced in the "Terrors Beyond Tyr" splatbook, the second Monstrous Compendium for [[Dark Sun]], and they are subtly implied to be descended from [[orc]]s that escaped the Cleansing Wars and evolved to survive the harsh new environment. Also like Ssurrans, despite being perfectly suited for it, they never received PC writeups, although in 4th edition at least, the [[half-orc]] statblock could reasonably stand in for them.
+They are legendary for their physical resilience, being able to fight on past the point of death. In 2nd edition, this let them fight on without penalty until reduced to -10 hit points; in 4th edition, it insted became the trait "Deathless Warrior", which lets them fight on unaffected until the end of their next turn if they pass a saving thrown when reduced to 0 hit points.

+In 2nd edition, they are also characterized by their extreme grace and coordination when in combat (a sharp contrast to their normally jerky, awkward strides) as well as their ability to intuitively synch up when fighting, boosting [[THAC0]] by 1 point per tarek that is concentrating on a singular foe or group of foes.
