Society
Xvarts are a cruel, cowardly race that occupy a place in humanoid society somewhere between goblins and kobolds. They often act as intermediaries between kobolds and goblins, usually dominating the latter. Although weak individually, they are extremely prolific, and are almost always encountered in large groups.

Xvarts worship Raxivort, a xvart from the World of Greyhawk campaign setting who achieved his godhood after betraying his former master, the demon lord Graz'zt.

Xvarts in Greyhawk
In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting, xvarts are found in the Bandit Kingdoms, the Bone March, the old lands of the Horned Society, the Pomarj, the lands surrounding Verbobonc, and the eastern Vesve Forest. Xvarts play a key role in the RPGA Living Greyhawk adventures River of Blood by Erik Mona and Dragonscales at Morningtide by Sean K Reynolds.

Creative origins
Xvarts were created by Cricky Hitchcock for the Fiend Folio game bestiary.
