Grotesque humanoids are twisted, deformed beings that embody both human and monstrous traits. These creatures are often shunned by society for their appearance, but they may possess great strength, resilience, or even hidden wisdom. Their grotesque forms are symbolic of inner turmoil or curses placed upon them by gods or fate.
In folklore, grotesque beings like Gollum or Quasimodo are tragic figures, misunderstood by the world due to their monstrous appearances.
