Description:
Created by a Lich, known as The Night Mage, on the distant world of Auralis, the Dunaux began as vicious pawns of his army of minions. Designed to work as a single mind, these beings were linked telepathically with each other to facilitate ease of command. However, over the years they began to evolve with higher intelligence, eventually culminating into a sense of individualism. It was at this point that they rebelled against the Night Mage and freed themselves from his tyrannical rule.
In the decades following, they evolved further to the point that they were no longer of a hive mind. This did not mean that they lost their telepathy, for it is how they communicate and allows them to skim some the surface thoughts of those they encounter. Even though they are more highly evolved, they still have, from time to time, the ferociousness of their ancestors.

The Dunaux are similar to Gnomes in size and weight. The main differences are in skin, eyes, head and hands. Their skin ranges from black to dark blue, their eyes have no pupils and range from red to blue. While their hands only have four fingers, they have no issues manipulating objects.
One of the most distinctive features is the head. The face is narrow and angular with no nose, but two slits where the sides of it would be. Along the top sides of the head are two ridges that run back and join at the base of the skull. Then there is the lack of a mouth. In its place are three mandibles that function similarly to viper fangs. One starts from the chin and points up to the nose slits and the other two located on the outside of the slits pointed towards the chin. The Dunaux use these mandibles to inject one of two kinds of venom. First venom is for digestion purposes, it is injected into their food, which is then liquefied and absorbed through the hollow fangs. The second venom is a little more deadly, as it sucks the life right out of its victim. However a Dunaux can only use their Life-Stealing venom so much before running dry.
Even though they lack a mouth, the Dunaux have no issue communicating via Telepathy. This telepathy is primarily for communication, but they have other mental abilities that allow them to gain a sense of what others are thinking.

Alternate Traits:

Swarming: Every so often, some Dunaux can psychically connect to one another in such a way that they fight as one mind, like their ancient ancestors. Up to two Dunaux can share the same square at the same time. If two members of this race that are occupying the same square attack the same foe, they are considered to be flanking that foe as if they were in two opposite squares. This replaces Frenzy.

Spell-Like Ability, Lesser (1/day): Daze Monster. Caster level = Character level. Replaces Detect Thoughts.

Magehunter: Because of the intense hatred the Dunaux have towards The Night Mage, generations of training have allowed them to perfect techniques to fight arcane casters. Dunaux gain a +2 racial bonus on Spellcraft checks made to identify a spell being cast and a +1 racial bonus on attack rolls against arcane spellcasters. Members of this race only gain this bonus against creatures that use spells, not against those that only use spell-like abilities. This replaces Skill Training and Skill Bonus.
