Melonhead

This wizened humanoid has pointed ears and an enormously swollen head. Its body is wiry and thin, as if it’s been stretched out of proportion. Its teeth are pointed and it wears little more than rags.

Taken from Creature Codex

Melonheads are simultaneously pathetic and frightening figures. Melonheads are developed from gnomish stock and are rumored to have been created by a gnomish alchemist attempting to bring gnomes to human size. He succeeded through the use of alchemical reagents and selective breeding, but the proportions were dramatically off, resulting in a humanoid with an oversized head and sharp teeth to match.

Most melonheads have been abandoned to the elements and live feral existences in small communities. They are carnivorous, as they need large stores of protein to fuel their strange, enlarged brains. Many tribes view other humanoids as food sources, as they have been rejected for their appearance and are jealous of the creature comforts that others enjoy. They are not inherently evil, but cults devoted to monstrosity and murder often recruit melonheads into their ranks, giving the creatures a sense of belonging while enticing them to ever more evil acts. A melonhead feels emotions very strongly and openly, which can make them either fast friends or frightening enemies depending on how they are treated.

The average melonhead stands about five feet tall and weighs 120 pounds. They have little material culture and view metal weapons and armor as rare treasure to be prized. Melonheads advance by class level, with ranger, rogue and barbarian being the most common among them. Melonheads do have a tendency towards psychic magic, and the leaders of melonhead communities are often psychics or mesmerists.
