Woodenthighs stands just under six foot and weighs about 260 lbs. He has long black hair that is tied in a ponytail. Woody is also a powerful werelord; his shape is that of a mountain lion. To him, his wereshape feels more natural and so he prefers that to his human form. He loves to run long marathon distances alone and he is known to go on runs for days at a time. Woody loves being in the open air, which makes him feel more alive. This is one reason that hunting is so enjoyable for him. While he enjoys the challenge of tracking down the animal, seeing the animal in nature is, for him, the best part. He sees himself as a part of the cycle of the land and not against it. It is this that allows him to feel closer to his god.
When he began adventuring, Woodenthighs found himself with a group of people with a variety of skills and beliefs. A couple, named Kalavor and Jessica Talgris, were part of this group. Kalavor and Jessica are both very tough warriors, but at the same time they are loving parents. Because Kalavor is also a werelord, they were able to understand his nature and accept him. For this, they are woodenthighs best friends whether they know it or not.
Woody has adventured in the Underdark several times. He was captured one time and the drow tortured him and other party members this is where his hatred for the drow started. It was during one of the attacks on the drow that he acquired his favorite magic item, a copper ring of spider climb. Since then, Woody has adventured with Kalavor, Jessica and others to the Tower of Illusion in the bright dessert and into the lands of Eon. Woody resides in or near Chipping Dale to be close to his best of friends (and fellow werelord) and to help protect the Talgris family.
