10-29-07, 01:08 PM You should be able to find information on him in the Mongrelfolk section of Races of Destiny. Other sources include the previously mentioned 2nd Edition product Monstrous Mythology and the 2e Planescape Planes of Law boxed set.

10-30-07, 08:37 PM To be technical, he is like some other deities, a mutiracial-minded one.

He smiles on the mongrelfolks, but also non-evil goblinoids and perhaps other 'monster races' of non-evil bent.

He have a role not unlike Eilistraee, albeit neutral and non-aligned/more monachist.

Thanks everyone! I found an old version of this supplement.

I don't know what's the 3.5 definition of a Mongrelfolk. I kind of remember in 2nd AD&D, orcs would willingly breed with other races to have diversified troups, and goblinoid would act the same. When there was too many different bloods in one individual, he wouldn't show any dominant racial traits: that would be a Mongrelfolk. So Mongrelfolks would also be part goblinoid...
