They’re creatures of Mad Science!!! Kind of orcs for a world of mad scientists rather than magic. They have a reputation that includes hating soap (true) and eating babies (not true).
They are voluntarily mutated super soldiers from the webcomic Girl Genius, who signed up to pillage everyone for their masters, but are nonetheless adorable.
They’re also a mixture of biological alteration, old and highly developed subculture, and playing up to their reputation as monsters that can make it very hard to tell where typically Jager behavior is coming from.
They’re immune to harm from a lot of things, so some things – like sewers – – they might fail to react to because it really isn’t dangerous for them.
I don’t know if they’re capable of having allergies, but they have a very good sense of smell, so something caustic might irritate sensitive noses.
