During the first hundred years many halflings were killed, eaten by swamp horrors or drowned in floods. Hundreds were infected with deadly diseases, disfigured and shunned, becoming forsaken and feral. These Bushfolk Halflings are not generally affiliated with the more civilized halfling population, having effectively become the woodhicks of the swamp. A common theme among many Bushfolk Halflings is body art, which includes charcoal tatau and blue "war paint" derived from flax flowers. Bushfolk Halflings are drawn to Tatau Warrior or Houdoan.
