Randomly Generating a Mongrelman

Mongrelmen are a mixture of many different creatures, and no two mongrelmen ever look alike. The table below can be used to generate the appearance of any given mongrelman.

Roll one time for each of the following areas of a mongrelman: left side of head (includes ear and eye); right side of head (includes ear and eye); upper torso; lower torso; upper arm (roll once for left and right arm); lower arm (roll once for left and right arm); upper leg (roll once for left and right leg); lower leg (roll once for left and right leg); foot (roll once for left and right foot); hand (roll once for left and right hand); and jaw/mouth.
