Hej-kin (also spelled as Hejkin in their 4e incarnation) are a race of insane, cannibalistic burrowing humanoids from the Dungeons & Dragons world of Dark Sun. Looking something like an insane hybrid between a devolved gnome and a killer mole, hej-kin actually have wildly different lore between 2nd and 4th edition. The 2e version is largely just a regular race of mole people (sans the cannibalism, of course), whilst the 4e version is a race of insane mutants that have been warped into aberrations by exposure to the mutagenic touch of the Far Realm.

Playing Hej-kin

Hej-kin were never officially updated to Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition, so fans stepped in and took care of that with their Terrors of Athas netbook. Since their lore was still rooted in hej-kin as magical cannibal mole-men, they even went so far as to make them playable. They also can be summoned to battle alongside you if you cast the Athasian version of Summon Nature's Ally III.
