Category:Rubbery Men: Difference between revisions

"The Rubbery Men are the ones who resemble squids, a little. They trade deep amber for the tiny blind fish that they eat, and for human music. They seem sad, anxious and very polite. But they are terribly menacing. Faces like squid! Occasionally one is stoned to death in an episode of civic high spirits."

Rubbery Men, mysterious crosses between squid and humans who cannot speak intelligibly, deal a brisk trade in amber.  They are also eager to take the amber back.  Despite their apparent harmlessness, they still face xenophobia and its effects - devils refuse to take their souls, and occasionally one is stoned to death. Even so, at least one of them has risen high enough in society to be an at least semi-influential businessman; he's called the Tentacled Entrepreneur.
