• Termagant trog - Females of a race of humanoids dwelling underground. They are rather attractive to fourthlings when young. Trogs of both sexes dwell in paper houses, called trogcombs, clad in garments of a lighter paper. Males are largely unseen and small, thought by the females to be pathetic and sickly; females are looked after by their indulgent and protective mothers. A young trog may keep a pet during this time. When the female trogs reach a certain age, they drink blood drawn from the roots of the carnivorous tree known as the Bloodoak, which causes their strength and size to increase. In addition, the drinker's hair follicles cease to function and her desires become extremely violent, hence the name "termagant". If the Bloodoak does not have blood for the trog on the appointed day, she is considered an outcast by her race. This is what happened to Maugin.
• Tilder - Like the Hammelhorn, the Tilder is a domesticated herd animal, with curling horns, a speckled hide, a bony upper lip, and size comparable to that of a deer, although they are used similarly to goats, sheep and pigs. They are herbivorous and can often be found by water. The horns of the tilder could be made into trumpet-like instruments called tilderhorns, and the hair of tilder are used for purposes similar to that of wool.
• Tufted goblin - A variation of goblin from the Goblin Nations. Captain Dengreeve Yellowtusk of the Sanctaphrax Knights Academy is a tufted goblin. Huge goblins that are fiercely warlike, usually with a large tuft of hair on the tips of their ears. The most common varieties are snag-toothed, saw-toothed, or underbiter.
• Tree goblin - Mentioned as being part of the great goblin army. Just another type of goblin that have long, drooping noses and long fingers. They are also known for their use of giant fromps. Arboretum Sicklebough, the Hall Master of Storm Cloud at the Knights Academy was a tree goblin.
• Tusked goblin - A goblin race with long, almost feline faces and heads. Two tusks protrude from their mouths, situated at the very bottom of their heads. They have small ears at the tops of their heads. Tusked goblins play a significant role in the Goblin Nations during the Second Age of Flight. Rootrott Underbiter of the Goblin Nations is a tusked goblin.
