What exactly is a warrior Raging Thrak?

[Drew]

I've been visiting this fellow for 15 years now and I've never known quite what he was. I always thought he was a Thrak, just a semi-tame civilized one who founded an inn. I never really thought about what a Thrak was. To be honest I always just pictured the Beast from Disney's Beauty and the Beast and I basically thought the warrior Raging Thrak looked exactly like him (sort of a proto half-krolvin).

Well I just looked at the description of a Thrak for the first time, it's a quadruped that looks like this:

This odd creature looks unnatural, as though some wizard had been meddling with its shape. It looks like a large, 4-foot-long lizard, with an uncomfortably large variety of teeth in its long snout.

Ok so it doesn't seem like he's actually a thrak. Looking at it, it doesn't have gender like the old monster system before they added one:

You see a fairly typical warrior Raging Thrak that is sitting down.
It appears to be in good shape.
It has nothing at this time.

He doesn't have a DESCription. Even the spelling of his name is a little odd: warrior is lowercase indicating that is his profession but Raging Thrak is uppercase, indicating maybe his name is Raging Thrak and his profession is that of a warrior. His race, who knows?


So, who has more knowledge than me here? What, exactly, is a warrior Raging Thrak?


(I posted this on the officials but more people read here)

Also I googled warrior raging thrak and I found this funny post from 2001. Looks like the more things change the more they stay the same:

Since my last dream sequence was such a hit, I thought it only wise to make a much needed update to the system.

[Raging thrak Inn, Curtain] Also here: The raging warrior Thrak, Novice Saberwolv

Thrak says, "Well done, Saberwolv. I see you have learned much. Just remember not to anger a lord or lady enough that they want to blast you out of your muddy boots!"

A brilliant flash reveals Andraste!

Saberwolv's jaw drops in fear

Andraste says, "Actually, raging warrior Thrak, we no longer condone lord and ladies being able to use any offensive means such as this proposed.....blasting out of muddy boots",

Thrak says, "Wha!? Yer in wehnimer's lady....where th' warriors roam free! Ah would certainly not take any lip from a young dark elf...nor do ah expect my students to do so."

Saberwolv backs his way to the curtain

Andraste says, "At this time, Thrak, I have placed you in the queue to receive a referral. You are to read the policy regarding Player v. Player conflicts"

Thrak says, "Oi...."

Andraste says, "By the way Saberwolv.....you failed. You are going to have to test again after he is finished reading policy.

Two burly Giantman suddenly appear and drag Saberwolv kicking and screaming to a dark alleyway.

[Raging Thrak Inn, Curtain] Also here: Raging warrior Thrak, the Legendary Lord Saberwolv

Thrak rasps, "I will now ask you a series of questions! Get them right, and you will promptly be rewarded!"

Saberwolv's eyes gleam in anticipation.

Thrak asks, "What do you do if somebody runs in and attacks your creature without asking?"

Saberwolv says, "Report!"

Thrak says, "Correct! What do you do if you find an injured giantman who insults the whereabouts of your mother?"

Saberwolv says, "Report for vulgarity!"

Thrak says, "Correct! What do you do if you see somebody screaming in all CAPS?"

Saberwolv says, "Report for being disruptive!"

The thrak looks pleased.

You notice Andraste peer around the corner.

Thrak says, "You have learned all I can teach you. Remember....you take the POLICY out of your backpack FIRST...and your SHIELD SECOND. Good luck, Saberwolv.

Saberwolv says, "I passed!"

I'm pretty sure that is just the guy's nickname. He's not actually a thrak.

[Asha]

total shock lol
I thought it was just a human with a silly name.

[waywardgs]

Yeah, it's not "a warrior Raging Thrak", it's "the warrior Raging Thrak." Raging Thrak is his name, he's a warrior, and probably just human.

Also, that andraste log is awesome.

[BriarFox]

Two thumbs up for mockery of Andraste and Policy. It's a 9-year-old argument for Shattered!

[Stanley Burrell]

There was a little Wizard FE picture for what Thrak looked like. I don't know if it still opens from the package file when you go behind the curtain or not.

[Tisket]

It's more interesting to imagine him as a four-foot long lizard.

[Latrinsorm]

I remember a bulbous red nose being in his description somewhere.
