Allowed Races

Haliwaara uses all core books for Races as well as those found in this document. Here's a completele list of homebrew races Haliwaara uses:

Aab'Shagua

I was late in my career when I crossed paths with the one-eyed man. I thought him a fellow traveler; a transient on the cosmic road that is the Ethereal Plane. But he claimed to be native born! Even with his strange eye and technicolor skin, I scarcely believed the merchant to be truthful. What native life could this place possibly bear? What did they eat? How did they function? All these questions and more I asked him. The one-eyed merchant merely chuckled.

"Here," he said, skipping between languages every few words, "I see you go a-glitterway. Lads like us-wise? Peepers meet peeper, stand out lightshow, we do! Gotta keep swagpackin' choppy. Two-eyes like you don't want none of the boys cloggin' no alleys. But fine things are around! Ether-Place don't have what we need, but it's got the doors to rooms that do. See I say?" Even with a tongues spell cast, I could barely make out the meaning of his words. Apparently his folk use the Ethereal Plane like a sailor takes to the sea. Their 'homeland' is merely whatever city tolerates their presence for the time being. Business must be slow if I had never heard of them before.

"What are your people called?" I asked. The one-eyed man grinned, and his blue iris grew to swallow the entirety of the eye, followed by the pupil. I looked on in shock as a new iris, now yellow, grew from that black orb and opened up a white pupil. In time his eye appeared to have turned inside out and come back in reverse colors. "Aab'shagua," the merchant said. He then licked the air in my direction, like a reptile. "Ooh, that perfume you got's mighty flowersome! Lookin' fer a glitter-swap?"

—The Life and Adventures of Xermian Uakis, Extraplanar Explorer

Aab'shagua are not known by most folk of the Material Plane. They are nomads in the most extreme sense. Even the boundaries between the planes themselves cannot stop aab'shaguan merchants from peddling exotic goods from all corners of creation.

An Odd Sight

With their penchant for interplanar migration, aab'shagua are more physically diverse than other races. There is no "normal" aab'shagua. An individual can stand from 4 feet to nearly 8 feet tall and weigh from 80 to 450 pounds. Aab'shaguan skin usually takes human coloration, but may be of any shade of the rainbow. Their hair can be similarly multicolored, and strands of it naturally mat together in wavy, rectangular strips (although aab'shagua are very fond of elaborate and exotic hairstyles). Their skin is utterly hairless everywhere else. A lot of aab'shagua have technicolor birthmarks in perfectly geometric shapes, such as red triangles on the cheeks, or a nonagon with a purple-blue gradient running down along their arm.

But by far their most trademark feature is their giant eye. It is twice as large as a human's fist, and the eyelashes can be longer than most races' fingers. This eye takes up so much space that aab'shagua have no noses. Instead, they smell through their tongue. Aab'shagua lick the air like snakes whereas other races would sniff. Even more strangely, aab'shagua can breathe through their tear ducts like other races breathe through the nose.

Ethereal Collectors

Aab'shagua make a living off of other realms. The Ethereal Plane cannot support their life on its own, so the aab'shagua travel. They ferry items, knowledge, and creatures across the planes for profit, skimming off what they can spare for themselves. Many dress themselves as walking advertisements. Jewels, pins, toy mechanisms, beetles, little elementals, and more oddities often find themselves draped over aab'shaguan shoulders. They know how easy it is to stand out with just one eye, so aab'shagua go all out with flair.

Aab'shagua hold one treasure sacred above all others. It is not something so mundane as a physical artifact. It is a dream. One all of this race share. When aab'shagua close their eye to rest, they see only emptiness. No black. No white. Simply... nothing. And then come colors. Streaks at first, but quickly growing like flames. All their senses swell with overstimulation into a nightmare past comprehension. When all is lost in formless in noise, and sound, and light, and color, a ring appears...

... a sacred band, forged into the shape of an iris, bearing an inscription that runs into itself forever: WITH LUCK COMETH OPPORTUNITY WITH OPPORTUNITY COMETH WEALTH WITH WEALTH COMETH POWER WITH POWER COMETH DIVINITY WITH DIVINITY COMETH PRIDE WITH PRIDE COMETH FAILURE WITH FAILURE COMETH LUCK...

Aab'Shagua Traits

Your aab'shagua character has these traits.

Age. Aab'shagua reach adulthood in their late teens and live up to three centuries.

Alignment. Aab'shagua tend toward extreme alignments. Few are neutral on any matters.

Size. Aab'shagua vary widely in height and build, from barely 4 feet to almost 8 feet tall. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Primordial, Common and two extra languages of your choice. Aab'shagua must learn the tongues of the peoples they live with. They commonly contort these languages to their breaking point, creating bizarre dialects and slang unique to their race.

Highsight. Aab'shagua have highly acute senses. You gain proficiency in perception.

Strangers To Nowhere. You always know what plane you are on. When you see a creature travel to another plane, you know which plane it traveled to.

Arcane Appraisal. You can cast detect magic without a material component once, regaining this ability after a long rest. This does not count against your spells known or spell slots. When you cast the spell this way, your eye appears to unfurl on itself, turning inside out and reversing its colors. You also also have advantage on all intelligence checks relating to magic items.

Darkvision. Due to your large eyeball, you have a lot of benefits. Darkvision is one of these, allowing you to see 60 feet as if it were dimly lit, only seeing black and while instead of normal colors. This is because as an Aab’Shagua, you have become conditioned to multiple different environments and have adapted to some of the darkest planes.

This is a slightly modified version of the Aab Shagua race made by Handwashbigpan. This is a race that I have really liked due to its different playstyle and interesting lore.

Aasimar Subrace: Titan Aasimar

Titan aasimar are empowered by the colossal strength of a celestial titan - most typically, an empyrean. They stand resolute against those who would do evil, though some, touched by a corrupted or cursed titan, may turn their ire toward forces of good, seeking only to darken the light in the world.

Powerful Build. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag or lift.

Divine Dynamo. Starting at 3rd level, you can use your action to unleash the divine energy within yourself, setting your eyes ablaze with fury as your towering form swells. The instant you transform, your size is doubled in all dimensions, and your weight is multiplied by eight. This growth increases your size by one category. If there isn't enough room for you to double in size, you attain the maximum possible size in the space available and still gain these benefits. Your weapons also grow to match your new size. While your weapons are enlarged, your attacks with them deal an extra 1d4 damage.

Your transformation lasts for 1 minute, or until you end it as a bonus action. During it, you have advantage on Strength checks and saving throws.

Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Alraune

"It was then that we entered a clearing of sorts - for the first time in hours, sunlight had pierced the canopy and cast a soft light upon our surroundings. Amidst the moss sat two enormous flower bulbs. Upon approaching them, the petals had started shaking lightly before unfurling, revealing what appeared to be two humanoid women - or at least from the waist up..."

Physical Description These beautiful men and women, humanoid from the waist up but veiled by large petals are known as alraune. Vines sprout out of the base of their bulb, which they use to absorb nutrients out of the soil. These vines are strong enough to allow for movement should the alraune uproot him- or herself. Smaller vines grow up out of the bulb, wrapping around their humanoid forms. Alraune often distinguish themselves from one another with various flowers and leaves that they allow to grow out of their upper half.

Their skin comes in a multitude of green shades, although a light brown color is not uncommon in colder seasons when nutrients are scarce.

Alraune's anatomy is far closer to that of a plant than a humanoid's. As a result thereof, their occurrence is limited to biospheres where the climate is temperate, supporting plant growth. While they are largely omnivorous, they are capable of generating energy for themselves through photosynthesis, which releases oxygen in the process. This process is especially useful in times of a food shortage. History

Alraune are born under rare circumstances; it is only when the potent magic from the Feywilds seeps into the material plane and binds the soul of a recently deceased humanoid to a flowers' seed that they come into existence. Once all of the flowers' seeds are released into the soil, chances of survival are of course small. The infused seed, however, is capable of spending a long time in a "resting" state, waiting for the opportune moment to start growing. Once the seed germinates, it spends the first year growing into a bulb. It remains in the bulbous state, ever growing until reaching maturity and flowering into an alraune at around 5 years.

They do not practice history or keep written records of their exploits. Alraune tales are purely shared by word of mouth and often carry little significance. If anything, their existence is only recorded by the faint whispers of the forest. Society

Although they don't form societies or even groups in the traditional sense of the word, alraune are still a part of nature and are willing to share their territory with allies if they find that this could be beneficial to themselves. Should their domain become endangered, they will fight alongside others to regain control. Alraune regard Druids highly, finding their ways with nature inspiring and fitting. Among the classes, druids are popular for them, and alraunes mostly respect their ways with the forests enough to not meddle in their business.

Alraunes tend to shy away from other races, hiding in the deeper parts of the forest - Should they come across a human it's often only from the treetops or as an inconspicuous form within their bulbs. There have been a few cases in which alraune have left the security of their forests with adventurers for a reason known only to them. It is possible that they left to gain experience and knowledge to bring back to their home one day because they have lost everything in a forest fire, or that their seclusion in an ancient forest is endangered.

In the inns, towns, and fields near the vast forests that alraune call home you may hear whispers of stories where adventures were taken captive by the alraune - where they were entangled and slowly digested until not even their bones were left. It is also speculated that consuming humans might be an important part of creating an offspring for alraune, as their origin is connected to the deceased.

Alraunes can be classified into three distinct strains:

• Sunflower Alraune are usually good and gentle towards other races, bravely approaching them when they stumble into their territory. Their radiant smile and playful nature is their most common characteristic as well as their tendency to invite others to play in the sun. It is because of this that their relationships with other races are the brightest of all the strains.

• Rose Alraune, while not as friendly, are easily the most charismatic of the strains. This natural Charisma and ability to beguile humans make them significantly more dangerous than the cheerful sunflower alraune. They are prideful and romantics to the core, in search of dedicated and faithful humanoids that keep them company. Those chosen by a rose alraune are charmed and carried deep into the forest, where they worship and tend to the rose alraunes needs.

• Venus Alraune do not typically actively search for relationships with other races. They are the most territorial and predatorial of the three strains and seem to have a particular preference for meat. They are adept at stealth and mobility, hiding in the deep foliage in wait for their prey or swinging from the treetops and pouncing on their unaware victim.

Alraune Names The alraune are not born with names, but borrow ones from gnomes, elves, plants of the forest and even simple concepts.

Male: Glaemir, Bryn, Columbine, Del, Eldon, Erky, Mandrake, Solar, Vega, Red, Blue, Azule, Mandarin, Oak, Birch, Bark, etc

Female: Breena, Carlin, Drusilia, Enna, Keyleth, Rose, Venus, Lux, Flora, Red, Blue, Azule, Ivy, Rosemary, Lily, Thorn, Umbra, etc

Alraune Traits

A race of plant-like flower-people.

Age. As a sprouting seed, the alraune grow within the bulb of a particular flower for about 5 years depending on the favorability of the soil, after which they bloom into their mature state. Their bodies don't age after that but instead exhibit signs of age when they are unable to gain the nutrients they need. These signs manifest themselves as wilting vines, molting leaves and browning skin. They can live up to 750 years before returning to the earth from which they were born.

Alignment. The alraune are often feral and unpredictable, as wild as the forests they live in, and as such are almost always chaotic.

Size. An alraune's height is anything 5 to 6 feet on average, and weigh anything from 60 to 120 pounds. Your creature size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 25 feet.

Alraune Pollen. The alraune produce a powerful pollen with an innate property pertaining to each subrace. As an action, you can release a puff of pollen in a 10-foot radius around yourself or in a 20-foot cone, forcing all creatures in range to make a Constitution saving throw. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Wisdom modifier + your proficiency bonus. On a failure, they come under an effect dependent on your subrace for 1 minute. An affected creature can repeat their saving throw each time they take damage. Once you use your pollen, you can't use it again until after you finish a long rest.

Floral Rest. Alraune do not need to sleep. Instead, they can root themselves in favorable soil, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day and absorbing nutrients from the soil. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep. However, if the soil is not favorable you require a full 8 hours of rest to gain the equivalent of a long rest. As an action, you enter this state, rooting yourself into a patch of soft ground. While in this state your speed is reduced to 0. You can end this state, uprooting yourself as a bonus action.

Plant. Your creature type is considered to be both humanoid and plant, and you can attempt to hide even when you are only lightly obscured by foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, and other natural phenomena. However, when you take fire damage, you are frightened until the end of your next turn.

Natural Knowledge. As a part of the forest it is only natural for you to be knowledgeable about the wilderness. You are proficient in the Nature skill.

Languages. You understand and can speak Common and Sylvan.

Subrace. You can choose between Sunflower, Rose, and Venus as your subrace.

Sunflower Alraune

Sunflower Alraune are as distinguishable for their generally bright yellow petals and taller builds as well as their friendly and kind nature.

Brave. You have advantage on saving throws against being frightened.

Calming Pollen. Creatures affected by your Alraune Pollen act as if under the effect of the calm emotions spell. When you use your Alraune Pollen trait, you can choose which of the two effects to use.

Solar Affinity. Of all varieties of alraune you are the most proficient at drawing energy from the sun. When you roll hit dice and you are in bright sunlight you gain a bonus to the number of hit points recovered equal to your proficiency bonus times the number of hit dice rolled. In addition, as an action, you can recover a number of hit points equal to your level if you are in bright sunlight. You can recover hit points using this trait once and regain use after you finish a long rest.

Rose Alraune

Rose alraune have generally darker vines, small protruding thorns, deep red petals and their delicate figures are a testament to their manipulative and controlling natures.

Aphrodisiac Pollen. Rose alraune produce a light sticky pollen that on contact with creatures acts as a strong aphrodisiac causing those affected by your pollen to be charmed for the duration and regard you as a close friend as if affected by the charm person spell.

Hopeless Romantic. As well as pollen, rose alraune can produce a thick and sweet nectar from their mouths. When it enters the body of a creature via ingestion they must make a Constitution saving throw against your pollen DC or fall unconscious for an hour. While unconscious if the target takes damage they can remake their saving throw to wake up. This property of the nectar disappears after an hour of being outside of an alraune's mouth. Constructs, undead, and creatures with immunity to being poisoned are immune to this effect. You regain use of this trait after you finish a short or long rest.

Perfect Flower. You have a beautiful appearance, and a voice to match it. You are proficient in the Persuasion skill.

Venus Alraune

Venus Alraune are smaller and quieter creatures, more solitude in nature than other strains, possessing long, dark vines. They have by far the most varied petal shades but all of them are generally very dark in tone.

Natural Camouflage. When you make a Dexterity (Stealth) check to hide in heavy foliage, you are considered to be proficient in the Stealth skill if you are not already, and add double your proficiency bonus to the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.

Silencing Pollen. Venus alraune produce a transparent pollen that when inhaled causes creatures to become mute. Those affected can't even scream and by the time they realize it is often already too late. In addition to this, it numbs the senses of affected creatures causing them to have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks for the duration.

Vine. Your vines can be extended and retracted for up to 20 feet at will. You can use them to hang from trees while staying hidden, grapple targets at a distance, use and manipulate simple objects and such, however, they are not strong enough to use weapons.

Random Height and Weight

Height = base height + height modifier

Weight = base weight + (height modifier x weight modifier)

Demonspawn

A female Nightian, her mouth hidden in the darkness.

"Demons are bad, but that doesn't mean we do bad things."

-Mike, Demonspawn Rogue, after recently beating a guard's head in with a mace.

Physical Description

Nightians are very tall creatures, with the shortest of their race being 6 feet tall, and their tallest being 7 feet tall. They have very extendable jaws, being able to open up to 4 and a half feet high, and one foot wide. They have very sharp teeth, and jet-black skin, with a smooth texture. They have either dark blue, black, white, or dark brown eyes. The males are either completely bald, or have rough black fur on the top of their heads. Females can have either long black, dark brown, white, or purple hair.

History

Nightians history is kept only by memory, and while they do have good memory, they also have a very confusing way of speaking to one another, causing meanings of past events to eventually distort. From what they can all remember, they were created by a disgusting mating ritual between a Troglodyte, a Drow, and an Orc. They don't remember the exact details; some claim magic, some claim chance, but the first Nightian was formed, somehow. The child was abandoned, left to fend for itself in the Underdark, and survived, hunting the weaker things there was, and populating it's species with women of different races.

Society

Nightian society is similar to wolves, in that they each have a sort of 'pack', or 'tribe'. These consist of between 10-30 males, and at least 5-10 women, if not more. They have a leader Nightian, the strongest warrior, which they choose via a non-lethal duel. The leader is always male, and they have a very fierce patriarchy: Women Nightians are treated almost less than objects, with their only tasks they're already to do be reproduce, take care of the children, eat, and sleep. Women from other races are treated even worse; They aren't allowed to sleep, and are given smaller portions of food, causing many non-nightian women to die before their first decade of captivity. They either dig holes into the sides of caves, cliffs, or hills, or they might build huts out of rocks, for shelter.

Relationships

Nightians are on tense relations with other races at best, and hostile at worst. The one race they can respect is the Hobgoblins, which usually do not show the same respect back. Any male within 100 feet of a Nightian tribe is hunted down and killed, while any female is kidnapped and brought back as a slave, for reproduction and taking care of the young.

Nightian Names

Nightian names have two different patterns, depending on gender: Males are named after how much kills they have made, then their parents up to grandparents, forming a full name of three numbers. For females, this is replaced with children, instead of kills. For obvious reasons, females never have a middle name of Zero. Rogues that abandon their names go instead with anagrams of the names they used to have.

Dopplegangers

Physical Description In their natural state, doppelgangers have the build of an elf, tall and slim but deceptively strong. They are also grey-skinned and hairless, with no obvious sexual characteristics and few obvious facial features beyond two large, protuberant, octopoid eyes.

History/Society The origins of the doppelganger race are unclear, a problem exacerbated by the lack of inclination for doppelgangers to bother keeping records themselves. Nonetheless, the age of many legends surrounding them indicate they are at least as old as humanoid civilization.

Although not usually evil, many are quite selfish and think of others as playthings to be manipulated and deceived. Doppelgangers are particularly fond of invading humanoid societies in order to indulge in their desires — some enjoy the complex dance of politics while others are incorrigible casanovas and svengalis who seek constant change in the race and gender of both themselves and their romantic companions.

While not standard, it is those doppelgangers use their gifts for cruel and sadistic purposes that are most notorious, and these shapeshifters are the primary cause of the race's sinister reputation. Certainly, a creature capable of changing its shape has a handy way to avoid capture for its crimes, and some particularly malicious doppelgangers enjoy disrupting relationships by posing as unfaithful lovers or luring others to their dooms in ambushes and robberies. Doppelgangers do not really possess a civilization of their own, instead infiltrating and manipulating the societies of others. For some, this is a matter of seeking ease and "the good life," while others feel an overwhelming need to fit in and belong.

A small number of "open" doppelgangers have found success in legitimate professions, usually performance arts like acting, or, occasionally, prostitution. One notorious inn and brothel, run by a changeling known only as "Velvet," purports to supply any customer with an "ideal mate..." so long as no questions are asked regarding its natural state.

Those familiar with doppelgangers have claimed that many of them actually have trouble developing personalities of their own, finding it easier to imitate the identities of others or to create "false" personas out of whole cloth. Some doppelgangers have supposedly become "lost in character," going the rest of their lives in one shape and one personality until they remain trapped in it forever and don't even remember who they used to be. Other horror stories talk about creatures slowly realizing they are doppelgangers, with slow, personal dread.

Fear at these outcomes, which some evidence suggests may not be entirely legendary, is what drives them to constantly shift and change throughout their lives.

Doppelganger Names Doppelgangers do not have a language of their own, and their names are almost always loan-words from the languages of others.

Dryad

I strode through a forest tall, As above the stars did glow, By maple trees and bird call, With my blade and hunting bow,

I spied the creature's bramble lair, Beneath the cawing crow, There I caught the maiden fair, Crooning upon willow,

And I knew her for a thief, For her hair was autumn flame, Her dress sewn of golden leaf, And my heart was hers to claim,

— Roland of Daggerford, the Huntsman's Rhyme

A single ray of moonlight pierces the forest's branch-bound roof, illuminating the dancing silhouette of a feminine figure. Enter the dryad, a mysterious fey both shy and alluring, whose powers of beguilement are as famed as their harmony with nature.

Shy But Curious

When a fey spirit is bound to a tree by a powerful fey, it is forever transformed into a dryad. Whispers speak of this as a punishment, if a fey spirit has fallen in forbidden love with a mortal, but every dryad has their own, secret story. The elegant dryads resemble the most dazzling, female elves. Their golden skin is the color of sunlight, with the texture of smooth bark. Their shapely forms are draped in flowing dresses, made of woven leaves or flower petals, as is their cascading hair.

Their warm laughter and captivating song echoes through the woodland realms, rich and enticing, yet rare and elusive. Despite their alluring appearance, they are shy creatures, leading few mortals to ever glimpse one — except for the druids, with whom they share the duty of forest guardianship. Those who do see one do so mostly from afar, stealing a mere glance from the corner of their eye of a lithe beauty flitting between the trees. A lucky, handsome mortal may be fortunate enough to be approached by one, for a dryad is a curious creature, at the peril of the dryad bewitching them with a fey spell.

Woodland Protectors

Dryads are typically neither evil, nor good. They do not harm without cause, and generally prefer to lure their foes away with their mystic, fey magic rather than confront them directly, but neither will they help someone in trouble if it's natural phenomenon harming them. They are the protectors of the natural world, and that world has a dark side. The wolf must eat, the storm must blow. The dryad, for all its grace and endless serenity, understands the savage truth of nature.

They are guardians of forests, and often work alongside satyr, druids and other forest folk. Good and neutral fey are often fond of dryads, with the mischievous pixies finding much in common with them. It is said among the fey folk that a ring of red toadstools marks the place where dryads and pixies come to dance and frolic beneath a full moon, and that any mortal who should stumble upon them will be granted a great boon.

A dryad is bound to a tree, but can roam the area surrounding it. Certain dryad are free to roam as far as their heart desires, but know in the depths of those hearts that the tree is their home, intrinsically linked. If a tree suffers, the dryad suffers. If the tree dies, the dryad goes mad. Only a difficult ritual conducted by a powerful fey, or archdruid, can save the wilting dryad and bind it to a new tree, healing it in the process.

Occasionally these dryads leave their forests, if only temporarily, and with heavy hearts. This is mostly to find some external threat to their woodland home, or else repay a debt to someone who once aided them.

Dryad Names Dryad names originate from the Sylvan language, and closely resemble Elf Female names. They are usually soft and ethereal sounding. Most dryads only possess one name, although if pressed may refer to their last name as that of the forest they come from.

Dryad Names: Aloria, Casaraine, Ethissia, Lathesae, Nadasei, Satharia, Theralin, Yalasee

Embodied Mouther

Excerpt from Hurika School of Anthropology

“What we are calling an 'Embodied Mouther' seems to be an evolved form of the horrible monstrosity that goes by the name gibbering mouther. This evolution exhibits a degree of sanity as well as higher intellectual capacity and charismatic ability that is not present in their less evolved kin though, it should be noted that they are still largely controlled by their need to consume and devour other creatures. This greater mental fortitude is believed to come from the eventual forming of a singular consciousness within the creature from the twisted and broken minds of all that it has consumed. This consciousness appears to be able to suppress the various maws throughout its body from giving off the classic gibbering that their kin was named after. The sentience that has formed, I believe serves as the foundation for the evolution and adaption from the horrible monstrosity that is the gibbering mouther into the embodied mouther. ” - Poneri, Anthro Research Team 1 Leader

Physical Description

At a distance, they appear to be normal humans or even elves, slightly shorter than most and well covered even on the hottest days but on a close, unhindered inspection one may notice the small to medium sized slits that cover their skin. They are easily mistaken for scars or recent cuts, but the sheer number of them is the particular part. It is only when these slits open that their true nature is revealed, the many eyes and mouths of serrated teeth coming into focus before the overwhelming gibbering overcomes them. Embodied mouthers usually cover themselves entirely with clothes and other accessories that hide their slits and disguise their true nature. They usually have dusky skin, silky black hair, and dark wide eyes.

History

Originally known as gibbering mouther's, the embodied mouther has developed great control over its body structure slowly forming itself over the years from the aberrant ooze-like creature it was into a more humanoid form. An embodied mouther would be able to tell you that at some point in its endless life that after one of many meals there was a turning point where something shifted inside of it and a collective sense of sentience made itself apparent and it was from that sentience that a curiosity was born. What am I? What have I been doing all this time? Is there more to this existence then the next meal? And it began to explore the world it inhabited altering its form over many years, learning from the beings it consumed and those that it watched from the shadows. Few scholars are aware or even care about the existence of such a species, however among those that do it is believed that the process of becoming this race requires an extraordinary amount of creatures to be consumed by the gibbering mouther as well as an environment to develop its intellect and what is left of its sanity. In addition to this, the safe studying of humanoid society is also required.

Society

As a people that have evolved from vile creatures, they are not commonly welcomed into normal society, embodied mouthers usually avoid the spotlight, sticking underground or to the outskirts of large cities so they can live in relative peace. They don't form their own societies due to how uncommon it is for a gibbering mouther to consume such a large amount and transform into an embodied mouther.

Embodied Mouther Names

An embodied mouther will usually pick a name from one of the creatures that they have eaten over the years, consciously or unconsciously. It is up to you to decide what makes that person significant, maybe they regretted eating them, maybe they were from a rare race that tasted especially good, the choice is yours.

Felis

"Felis are the kindest, and most adorable strangers I have ever met. If it were not for their love of sunbathing I fear they would have turned to conquest; and I find myself wondering if the world is worse for it." - Alyss Kumungu, Felis Friend

Short and Furry

Felis are often underestimated due to their short stature and cuddly demeanor. Felis come in all shapes and colors. They can grow to be up to 3 ft tall and often vary in their wieght due to differing habits. Felis range from the fiery gingers to the cool, calculating cerulean blues, The sub species of Felis all have their own quirks, but as a species they are know as inteligent and gifted adventurers.

Each breed of Felis has their own Clan of which they are extremely proud. This often leads to scuffles and contests for pride of oneself and of Clan. There has always been a healthy rivalry among the different breeds of Felis. Some rivalries end in brawls and others end with shame and loss of respect. Often, individuals will be challenged to a single combat for their honor, and on the rarest of occasions, the honor of an entire clan.

Nine Lives Short Lived

Felis live up to 135 years of age. It is whispered that they possess nine lives and, by some forgotten curse, they burn trough each life every 15 years. This has led many Felis adventurers to set out on a quest to seek an end to their curse and restore the races full life span. With their cursed nine lives the Felis travel alone with an eagerness to get the most from life which drives them to move trough it rearly forming strong attachments to the many non-Felis with which they vecome aquainted. Felis are able to sniff the wizard in a room full of grey bearded, pointy hat wearing men. Other races often construe the Felis' innate magic sense to their origins as Wizards familiars, used as conduits of magical energy to aid in spellcasting.

The Suncrock Clans

When the original Felis Elders formed their various clans, they decided the race as a while needed a suitable land they could call home. Each of the Elders sent out at least one adventurer to seek such a home, and the mighty Shorthair named Max was the one to find the Great Sunrocks. These massive stone formations soak up and retain the Suns heat to a remarkable degree, remaining warm to the touch day or night, even in Winter. Sleeping or meditating on these rocks is a great comfort to all Felis who have the opportunity to partake of it.

Since there is only so much living space in Sunrock Village, the right or an invitation to visit, much less live permanently, with the Elders who reside there must be earned. Each clan is overseen by an Elder who resides in Sunrock village. These Elders have the last say in conflicts between clans and the species in general, but events hardly get that far.

Overcoming Underestimation

Felis are among the shortest races and are often overlooked for their small stature. Their domesticated ancestor, the house cat, is sometimes what all other races will see when dealing with a Felis. Adventuring Felis have learned to use this to their advantage, often sweet talking the tall folk into increasing their fee and rewards. But this talent isn't just limited to deal-making; in combat, foes will often disregard and even turn their backs to a Felis, providing an opening to strike.

Clan Hierarchy

The Felis clans are overseen by a clan elder who is elected by the by the clan as a whole. The elder doesn't have to be elderly to achieve the title, but those who take the mantle young are seen as inexperienced. The Clan Elders usually reside in Sunrock Village in order to facilitate peace-keeping and coordination between the Clans.

Ranked below the Elders, in name only, are the CLan Mothers. Clan Mothers are those who manage the Clan's home affairs, organize quests, assign apprenticeships, and just about everything else. While Elders are elected, Clan Mothers will choose a promising child and tutor them personally. After the Clan Mother passes the chosen child will take up the role.

Curious Explorers

All Felis share a love of exploring - their curiosity about the world is what drives them onward. They are constantly looking foor new technologies, spells, and rare legendary items to further their clans honor.

Felis Names Felis are given their names by their Clan Mother. A Clan Mother often determines the name by divining the future of a kitten. If the future tells of the child doing great deeds a heroic name is choosen, if not, a standard house name is choosen.

Male Names: Al, Bree, Chester, Edgar, Fiddle, Jester, Jack, Luke, Luther, Max, Maru, Mew, Milo, Minka, Oliver, Oscar, Rufus, Smokey, Simon

Female Names: Alice, Angel, Ash, Charlotte, Claire, Curie, Chloe, Daisy, Eva, Lucy, Millie, Mimi, Misty, Rosie, Ruby, Sasha, Susi, Tasha, Trixie

Clan Names: Cerulean, Claw, Maine, White Paw, Shadow, Forest, Chant, Hex, Iron Tooth

Heroic Names: Azreal, Leo, Felix, Ozfell, Proudfoot, Patches, Salem, Theo, Cecil

Ghoul

Adventurers

Ghouls become adventurers for as wide a range of reasons as anyone, but one driving force in particular is the constant urge to seek out new, exotic meals. A ghoul adventurer might wish to sample the dead in a wide range of graveyards or might seek to incover a hidden text or lost relic they learned of after feeding on a dead scholar. Since adventurers often have a much higher tolerance for strangeness, a ghoul is mroe likely to find acceptance ina an adventuring party which can offer important protection and support. If the ghoul's adventuring allies can help keep them from being run out of town, then all the better!

Half-Dragon

“HALF DRAGONS? YEAH, TOTAL FREAKS THOSE GUYS. IMAGINE Dragonborn but then more human. I guess some people will sleep around with just about anyone these days, even dragons. Still, I had a few in my party, and I can't argue with their results. Once had a Silver one freeze a Orc solid before he could cleave my head. Now, his look was hilarious!” — Thorzag, green dyed beardless Dwarf

Many Dragons are not only fearsome beasts, but renowned masters of magic as well. As such, it is not uncommon for one to change shape and walk among the masses, or even take a mortal lover. The children of such unions are known as Half Dragons. Not quite as monstrous looking as the Dragonborn, but still very much recognizable due to it's draconic traits.

Proud Dragon Heritage

Half Dragons look very similar to their mortal parent, except for the horns and partial scales that cover their bodies, as well as their draconic legs and and long tails. However, Half Dragons are more known for their dangerous elemental breaths, as well as the gift of transformation. While only a few Half Dragons can eventually ascend to True Dragonhood, some have been gifted with a "lesser" form that allows them a burst of power as well as the gift of flight for a short period of time.

Half Dragons color patterns are similar to their draconic parent, and in the case of two Half-Dragons having children the child will often be born in a color scheme of either parent. Though occasionally they instead look like one of the other draconic ancestors of the parents, as Half Dragons are strongly drawn to one another and known to quickly make families and communities. They are tall and strongly built, with males often standing close to 6 and a half feet tall and being taller and heavier than females. They also gain an advantage based on which draconic heritage is more dominant for them.

Challenging upbringing

Half Dragons share much of their draconic parent's strength, but they are also vulnerable in the early stages of their long lives. The lucky ones are raised by two Half Dragon parents, who raise them into protected communities. Others are abandoned by the draconic parent or both parents, forced to survive or hope they will get adopted by other Half Dragons or by Dragonborn. Though those with a Metallic Dragon parent are more often than not properly raised and cared for.

Those adopted by Dragonborn are brought in as part of the clan, and are raised to show strong loyalty to their clan. A continual drive for self-improvement reflects the self- sufficiency of the Dragonborn race as a whole, which is then reflected upon the Half Dragon. These Half Dragons value skill and excellence in all endeavors. They hate to fail, and they push themselves to extreme efforts before they give up on something. These Dragonborn raised Half Dragons hold mastery of a particular skill as a lifetime goal, alongside the desire to ascend to Dragonhood. Members of other races who share the same commitment find it easy to earn their respect.

Eventually, all Half Dragons have a universal drive to become stronger. By gaining strength in a multitude of ways, they find that they become more in touch with their draconic heritage, which comes forward in the forms of mastering their elemental breath, or even transforming into a Dragon outright. This form is often not as strong as that of true dragons, except for those that are truly devoted and powerful. Such Half Dragons have "Ascended to Dragonhood", and become true dragons with all their terrifying might. This true dragon form however, is not easy to attain, and requires great devotion and resolve. Those who succeed however, are viewed in very high regards by Half Dragon society.

A growing people

In the most recent years, Half Dragons have been forming communities at an increasing rate. This has created many Half Dragon families, and in turn many adventurers as well due to their drive to ascent to Dragonhood. Usually however, many Half Dragons will start a family and have children, with the mother being persuaded to take care of the children, while the father goes out and provides for his family. Should the mother choose to become an adventurer, then the grandparents or one of the extended family will often take care of them. While they are few in number, they are rapidly increasing their numbers due to a high fertility rate and big families (contraception is taboo for them, as they have a instinctive desire for survival and feel that every number counts). These communities are protected by their elders, some of whom have already ascended to Dragonhood, and make for formidable opponents.

Half Dragon Traits

Your draconic heritage manifests in a variety of traits you share with other Half Dragons.

Age. Half Dragons mature at the same rate as their mortal parent's race, but they can live for hundreds of years, up to 1000 years old. A few of those who have transcended into Dragonhood however, have been granted the gift of immortality. Making Dragonhood even more sought out after, but no less difficult to achieve.

Alignment. Most Half Dragons are similar to Dragonborn and tend to extremes, making a conscious choice for one side or the other in the cosmic war between good and evil (represented by Bahamut and Tiamat, respectively). Most Half Dragons are good, but those who side with Tiamat can be terrible villains.

Size. Half Dragons are often taller and heavier than humans, standing well over 6 feet tall, with males being noticeably bigger than females. Your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

They are dragons too Half-Dragons can take feats that would require your race to be Dragonborn

Breath Weapon. You can use your action to exhale destructive energy. Your draconic ancestry determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation. When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by your draconic ancestry. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Draconic. Draconic is thought to be one of the oldest languages and is often used in the study of magic. The language sounds harsh to most other creatures and includes numerous hard consonants and sibilants.

Draconic Ancestry.

While most Half Dragons are mixed, they are always divided into a number of different colors that reflect their draconic ancestry, and provides them with unique abilities. Just like True Dragons these colors are not all equally powerful, and some colors have more niche abilities than others. However, no color is exceptionally different in power from others.

These colors fall into two categories, the chromatics - Black, Blue, Green, Red, and white - and the metallics - Brass, Bronze, Copper, Gold and Silver. Choose one of these subraces. Your breath weapon deals elemental damage of the type associated with your chosen subrace, and you gain Resistance against this damage type as well. In addition your Ability Score increases as described, and you gain an additional Draconic Trait.

Half-Dryad

Physical Description

Half-Dryads more closely resemble their paternal race than their mother's. By most standards they appear to be a child of normal birth. But the half-dryad's fey heritage always shows in one obvious detail, their hair. A half-dryad's hair changes with the seasons, in the spring and summer their hair comes in mixed shades of green, in the fall and winter their hair changes a varied blend of blonde, brown, and red. Leaves and flowers from their mother's root tree occasionally grow within a half-dryad's hair, for some it is mixed in among the strands of hair, for others it spreads to become foliage, their hair closely resembling a mass of verdant vines.

History

Half-Dryads and Dryads are the protectors of the forest and will defend it from anyone attempting to damage or desecrate the forest.

Society

Half-Dryads usually live on the fringes of society, their connection to their mother's fey heritage makes them more comfortable in places where things grow, cities tend to feel oppressive and unnatural. When a half-dryad has a home inside of a city's walls their residence is obvious from the explosion of foliage they have growing. Many half-dryads live in their mother's groves, some find a calling working with plants and become farmers or gardeners.

Homunculus

Homunculi are best described as fair-skinned, dark-haired creatures. Most tend to either look feminine and fair, masculine and handsome or somewhere in between. Homunculus tend to have nearly black or totally black hair and red, red-violet, indigo, or violet eyes. They also wear mostly black clothing. Some homunculi prefer their clothing to armor, but the armor they do don is often black or dark brown and armor made by them is often said to be of remarkable craftsmanship, and their weaponry tends to look daunting and frightening.

History

Homunculi were created by a large merchant empire called Xerxes. At that time, there were 14 homunculi, 7 named for Vices, 7 for Virtues, 7 were female, 7 were male. Because of this, there are 7 clans of homunculi, each with a different relation to the other. In Xerxes, the homunculi were taken for granted, treated as slaves and livestock, and sold off as such.

Finally, members of the Third and Fourth Clans (the Mammon and Leviathan Clans respectively), sick of their horrid treatment (and envious of the lives of the humans in the Leviathan Clan's case), called together all the homunculi in Xerxes to hold a revolt. They overthrew the human emperor of Xerxes and took their place as the 7 Lords of Xerxes. After a long debate about who did the most in the revolt, the 7 clans finally voted that the Lucifer Clan had led them and done the most, despite the Leviathan Clan being the ones who called the homunculi to revolt and the Mammon Clan being the ones to overthrow the emperor. This decision sparked a fierce hatred between the Lucifer Clan and the Mammon and Leviathan Clans, with the other clans having to scramble to chose sides. Only one clan stood firmly by the Lucifer Clan, the Iblis Clan, and this made them enemies with all the other clans. During this fight, two empires who were close allies of the Xerxian Empire began to war against each other, both empires called on Xerxes for assistance, but because of the upheaval, the clans kept sending soldiers to both sides and confused the two empires. The empires would inevitably be destroyed in their conflict, but not before destroying Xerxes for betraying them, and the empire itself. By the end of the destruction, only three of the original homunculi lived, the head of the Leviathan Clan, the head of the Mammon Clan, both of which had fought alongside even enemies during the attack, and the female homunculus of the Belphegor Clan, who had been disallowed to join into the battle. Following this dishevel the formula to create homunculi were known only to so many warlocks and kept secret. Though they are a rarity any more, they still roam the world.

Society

Normally homunculi hide among humans because of the discrimination that usually comes with being what they are. Homunculus being unable to age or bear children are created at the age chosen by their warlock creator. Most often then not homunculi will abandon their creator, born with the innate sense of freedom and free will.

Homunculus Names Homunculi go by characteristics, concepts, nouns, and adjectives, the first 14 were named after 7 Vices and 7 Virtues.

Male: Courage, Empathy, Justice, Piety, Gluttony, Greed, Wrath, Sloth

Female: Faith, Harmony, Hope, Joy, Charity, Envy, Lust, Pride

Kitsune

"It has been a long time, children, but it is time to break back into the world. Know this: the world is ever changing. You may be the target of discrimination and hatred. Hopefully, those out in the world have learned from their egregious past and moved on. Do not hate someone for their skin. Do not hate someone for their past. Learn to live with them in the here and now because if you don't, happiness will never be attained in your life." -Tsukiko, a nine-tailed kitsune, to her people before sending out ambassadors to other race's kingdoms

Physical Traits

A kitsune has a stature similar to that of an elf, being a bit shorter, and lither than a typical human of the same. In their natural form, they are much like anthropomorphic foxes. They usually have light colored fur, reddish brown, white, golden brown, though it isn't completely unheard of for them to possess black fur that covers their entire body. Some may have multiple colors in their fur such as being mostly reddish brown with white gloves and socks. Their eyes range in color as well, though most have blue, green, or brown eyes. Albeit uncommon they may also have orange, purple, yellow, or even red eyes. They have mostly human-like hands though they do possess dark black claws at the ends of their fingers. They also have paw pads on their feet and hands, much like a fox. A kitsune is born with a single tail, but as they grow older they gain more tails. It is very uncommon for a nine-tailed kitsune to be any less than 60 years old, growing a new tail every 5-6 years starting when they reach adulthood at 16. However, a kitsune's age is very difficult to tell since they appear to stop aging in their early twenties and live to be a century and a half or so.

History

Kitsune are a race of fox people that are quite rare. They tend to hide their kitsune heritage while dealing with other races as a way to keep away from the discrimination and hatred built up in the legends of some of the most powerful kitsune. There are many legends floating around the world relating to powerful nine-tailed kitsune. Powerful and wise, a nine-tailed kitsune has white or golden fur, tending to be powerful sorcerers. It is said in legend that kitsune are born tricksters and have nigh-infinite power by the time they are fully matured. Supposedly, the only way to kill a kitsune is to cut off all of its tails, where it's power is stored, but that is simply a tall tale to scare young children. Due to the legend stating that a kitsune's tail contains power, the kitsune were nearly wiped out for their tails and most of them went into hiding. Only just getting back into the world after centuries of isolation, it is still the practice of some races to sever a kitsune's tail in hopes of obtaining power.

Society

Kitsune society used to be a flourishing society of mages and clerics. Since Kitsune are born with a little bit of magic in their blood, to begin with, it is quite common for them to seek out ways to improve on what they are already gifted with. They used to be a very open people enjoying the loves and joys of any race: drinking, feasts, merriment, music, plays, poetry, and storytelling in general. Many of the legends of the Kitsune came from the Kitsune themselves, spinning tall tales of grand heroic mages and warriors. Other races didn't get along very well with Kitsune due to magic being relatively rare in the world, and all Kitsune had access to it like it was nothing just because of being who they were. After the massive genocide against their race, they became a largely secretive race.

After coming out of hiding, their faith in the world was restored after the Great Nine-Tailed Tsukiko led them away from their destruction. Most of the kitsune are still very secretive, albeit passionate about their causes. Still, it is in the nature of a kitsune to be a bit of a trickster with people they get to know and it isn't uncommon for their jokes to 'go a little too far' in the eyes of other races. Other races are wary of these fox folk when they meet them. Many pose as humans in the world, having shape changing as an innate ability in their blood. Many kitsune go out to study magic or spread the word of their gods. Some simply want to spread the stories of their kind, valuing these great stories, kitsune bards to travel to other nations to tell their tales.

Kitsune Names Having had their society nearly exterminated, it is not all that uncommon for a kitsune to have names of other races. The names listed below are some traditional kitsune names.

Male. Akihiko, Daiki, Jirou, Kei, Osamu, Takeo, Yuudai.

Female. Aya, Chinatsu, Eri, Mana, Ritsuko, Sachiko, Tsukiko.

Moon Elf subrace

Often mistaken for drow by the uninformed, moon elves are the secretive subrace of elvenkind that dwell deep within the forests, hidden out of sight from all but the most perceptive and brave explorers. Moon elves live in carefully hidden villages, usually in deeply shaded parts of the forest, though their temples and other religious sights typically are built in clearings where they can be bathed in the open moonlight.

Moon elves have more purple skin than their other kin, ranging from light lavender to dark violet, though light shades of blue are not uncommon Their hair typically ranges from a multitude of strange colors, with the most common being aqua, white, green and dark blue. As part of their culture, moon elves often tattoo their face with simple patterns, and pierce their ears with intricate silver jewelry.

Moon elves, like their drow cousins, typically live in a matriarchal society, with women commonly serving as soldiers, while men typically take up druidcraft, and serve as spiritual leaders.

Nidaari

It seemed to drift, gliding slowly through the air, only a foot above the ground. Its eyes were dark like the night sky, and its mouth curved upwards in some imitation of a human smile. Though it had a mouth, it did not speak a word, no matter how many times I asked what it was. It formed gestures with its arms and hands, trying to communicate something.

It came closer, lowering itself so that its eyes met mine, its lowermost tentacles lifting themselves slightly as though they were repelled by the ground itself. It reached its head out toward my forehead, and I recoiled in a moment of fear. The creature continued to watch me, unblinking. There was a sort of alien innocence in how it watched me.

Going against everything I had been told about trusting creatures of this sort, I slowly walked back over to the floating being. As it raised its hand once again, I nodded in affirmation. It gently placed its cold palm upon my head, and for an instant, I felt as though I could hear the universe itself, like an ethereal chorus of screams.

Then, just as quickly, it faded into silence. I looked back at the face of the creature, whose mouth opened as though to express joy. An excited voice spoke inside my head.

"Finally, you can hear me!"

With bodies resembling jellyfish, an inability to speak without the aid of telepathy, and mysterious cosmic origins, the nidaari are among the strangest of all races, as well as the least understood. Many of them live in isolation, deep beneath the ocean, although they have slowly begun to return to the surface.

They are a curious people, eager to observe and learn from the people of this world. A small number of nidaari have been welcomed into towns and cities after awakening people to their telepathic voices. However, many still fear their strange psychic powers.

Cosmic Drifters

Nobody knows from where the nidaari originated, other than that they descended to the world from among the stars. They are said to have aimlessly drifted for millennia before finding this world, which they now call home. Ancient legends speak of a day when thousands of nidaari drifted down from the heavens. Some cultures saw them as celestial messengers of the gods, while others saw them as heralds of the end times. The nidaari that survived this first contact went into seclusion in the ocean, disappearing for centuries before finally returning to the surface world, eager to once again meet the people of the land.

Their ancient forms were said to have been very different to how they appear today, suggesting that newer generations of nidaari have somehow developed more humanoid forms so that they may better interact with the native residents of this world. Some scholars suggest that this was due to them interacting with the minds of humanoids, while others believe this mutation was designed by the first nidaari after observing and studying the native people of this world. None of the original generation of nidaari are known to survive, so the answer remains a mystery, even to the nidaari themselves.

Bizarre Biology

A mated pair of nidaari will produce a sac containing thousands of eggs, which need to be submerged in a liquid environment to develop. The parents will typically construct a pool or shelter for their young, but otherwise leave them alone. After about three months, the eggs will hatch into larval nidaari, which lack any humanoid features and are less than an inch in length. Almost all of these nidaari will die, and their bodies will be consumed by their siblings, accumulating their biomass as well as their psionic capacity.

Within six months, no more than five nidaari will remain, each surviving larva having grown to a length of at least eight inches. At this point, they will attach themselves to a solid surface and form a transparent membrane around themselves, inside of which they will grow into a sentient, adult nidaari. Depending on factors ranging from water quality to light exposure, this process can take anywhere from three to ten years. In the final stages of development, they will begin to speak to their siblings telepathically, forming the basis for powerful sibling bonds when they finally emerge, ready to enter the world together.

Awakeners of Minds

The nidaari have mouths, but no vocal cords, and are entirely incapable of speech. Nidaari communicate with one another telepathically, sending psionic waves from their minds that carry their voice. However, other races cannot perceive this telepathy, leaving them entirely incapable of hearing the voices of the nidaari Thankfully for the nidaari, they possess a method by which they can awaken the minds of other people, allowing them to hear their voices. Through physical contact, a nidaari can alter the mind of a creature to be receptive to their telepathic voices, although their minds will return to normal after a few days if they are not exposed to nidaari telepathy. This alteration can only be performed if the person is willing to let the nidaari touch their mind, meaning that someone who is afraid or hostile will resist it. A nidaari adventurer will often rely on their party members to convince new people to undergo this process.

Nidaari Traits

Your nidaari character has several traits unique to your kind as a result of your alien nature.

Age. Nidaari do not age after reaching maturity, and can live indefinitely. Nidaari hatch from eggs lain in water or other liquids, and undergo a series of development stages over the course of 3-10 years before becoming an adult. They consider themselves "born" upon reaching their adult stage, and measure their age from that point onward.

Alignment. Nidaari have a tendency toward neutral alignments, very rarely leaning toward either good or evil as most other creatures understand it.

Size. Nidaari range between 4 and 5 feet in height, but appear taller due to their levitation. Your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 5 feet.

Swim Speed. You have a swimming speed of 20 feet.

Levitation. You have a flying speed of 20 feet, but cannot fly higher than 5 feet off the ground this way. This speed is halved when wearing medium or heavy armor. Nidaari constantly float, even in their sleep, unless they are knocked prone or reduced to 0 hit points.

Anaerobic. You do not breathe.

Nidaari Magic. Though you lack vocal cords, you can still cast spells that require vocal components. While casting a spell with a vocal component you glow, casting dim light in a 20 foot radius.

Alien Mind. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened. In addition, when a non-Nidaari or non-aberration attempts to read your thoughts, they must make a DC 13 Intelligence saving throw or be unable to decipher your alien thoughts for 24 hours.

Psionic Sting. Your stinging tentacles are a natural melee weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. You use Intelligence for the attack and damage rolls instead of Strength, and the damage die is 1d6. The damage type is Psychic.

Nidaari Telepathy. You can telepathically broadcast your voice in a 30-foot radius, allowing you to speak with other nidaari. Non-nidaari cannot perceive your voice.

As an action, you can touch a willing creature to alter its mind, allowing it to hear and understand the telepathic voices of nidaari, as long as it can speak at least one language. This does not allow it to respond telepathically. This effect wears off if three days pass without you or another nidaari telepathically communicating with it.

Languages. You lack the vocal cords necessary to speak, relying entirely on telepathy to verbally express yourself. You can understand, read, and write Common and two extra languages of your choice.

Pixie

“Petal gowns and acorn caps are so last summer!”

— Rivergleam, pixie fashionista

Standing barely a foot tall, pixies resemble diminutive elves with gossamer wings like those of dragonflies or butterflies, bright as the clear dawn and as luminous as the full moonrise. Curious as cats and shy as deer, pixies go where they please. They like to spy on other creatures and can barely contain their excitement around them. The urge to introduce themselves and strike up a friendship is almost overwhelming; only a pixie’s fear of being captured or attacked stays its hand. Those who wander through a pixie’s glade might never see the creatures, yet hear the occasional giggle, gasp, or sigh.

Pixies array themselves like princes and princesses of the fey, wearing flowing gowns and doublets of silk that sparkle like moonlight on a pond. Some dress in acorns, leaves, bark, and the pelts of tiny woodland beasts. They take great pride in their regalia and beam with joy when they are complimented on their ensembles.

Magical Faerie Folk

With their innate power of invisibility, pixies rarely appear unless they wish to be seen. In the Feywild and on the Material Plane, pixies etch patterns of frost on winter ponds and rouse the buds in springtime. They cause flowers to sparkle with summer dew, and color the leaves with the blazing hues of autumn.

Pixie Dust

When pixies fly visibly, a shower of sparkling dust follows in their wake like the glittering tail of a shooting star. A mere sprinkle of pixie dust is said to be able to grant the power of flight, confuse a creature hopelessly, or send foes into a magical slumber. Only pixies can use their dust to its full potential, but these fey are constantly sought out by mages and monsters seeking to study or master their power.

Tiny Tricksters

While the arrival of visitors piques their curiosity, pixies are too shy to reveal themselves at first. They study the visitors from afar to gauge their temperament or play harmless tricks on them to measure their reactions. For example, pixies might tie a dwarf’s boots together, create illusions of strange creatures or treasures, or use dancing lights to lead interlopers astray. If the visitors respond with hostility, the pixies give them a wide berth. If the visitors are good natured, the pixies are likely to be emboldened and more friendly. The fey might even emerge and offer to guide their “guests” along a safe route or invite them to a tiny yet satisfying feast prepared in their honor.

Opposed to Violence

Unlike their fey cousins, the sprites, pixies abhor weapons and would sooner flee than get into a physical altercation with any enemy.

Bright Pixie

As a bright pixie, you prefer being outside in the bright sun during the day.

Bright Sunny Day. You gain advantage on initiative checks and cannot be surprised in combat while you're outdoors during the day.

Sunny Prowess. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the faerie fire spell as a 1st-level spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the fly spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

Twilight Pixie

As a twilight pixie, you prefer being outside in the dim moonlight at night.

Moonlight Sight. Because of your affinity for hanging out i the moonlight, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Dusky Prowess. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the phantasmal force spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the sleep as a 2nd level spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

Praedaren (Haliwaara)

Within rocky coves and coastal inlets, praedaren build their dens. Atop the blood-soaked docks these creatures call home, carcasses of great sea monsters are hoisted by net and harpoon, and the stench of iron and salt permeates the air. Longshoremen work tirelessly to load and unload their vessels, harvest the remains of slain beasts, and repair or dismantle ships that have been salvaged or captured by competing fleets.

These lands are barren and bleak, and largely inhospitable. As a result, the praedaren repurpose much of that they scavenge into their infrastructure. In this wooden, rusting bricolage, one might find any number of foreign ships repurposed for a home, archways carved from monstrous jawbones, or tattered sails strung up for some protection against the elements.

Slimefolk

by b00mb0zz and appledirt

Age Slimefolk are not known to age naturally and are considered adults when they fully form

Alignemnt While slimefolk can and do encompass all the different alignments, their fluid nature and relation to their mindless ancestors cause them to lean towards chaotic and neutral alignments.

Size Slimefolk range from just over 4 feet to just under 8 feet tall, encompassing a wide range of different sizes, additionally their body may expand or contract while performing certain actions. Your size is medium.

Speed Your viscous body moves slower than most humanoids can. Your base walking speed is 25 ft.

Ooze body As an oozemorph, your body is translucent, partially fluid, and malleable. You can move through a space large enough for a creature two sizes below your own without squeezing. Additionally, you do not need to breathe. Your creature type is ooze.

Engulf By forcing a creature or an object into your body, you begin to dissolve it. As an action while you are grappling a creature of your size or smaller you may attempt to engulf them. To do so, make another grapple check against the creature. On a success you no longer need to use a free hand to continue grappling the creature, and the creature can’t breathe, is restrained, and has total cover from attacks and effects outside of you and takes 1d6 damage at the beginning of each of their turns. The damage type depends on your subrace. This damage is increased to 2d6 at 5th level, 3d6 at 11th level, and 4d6 at 17th level. Alternatively, you may instead use an action to engulf an object you are holding. Any non-living organic matter engulfed by you is completely dissolved within 1d4 hours. Digesting something in this way counts as eating it, meaning that it can provide sustenance, and you are subject to any diseases or poisons it has that would be contracted through eating it. You can have only one creature engulfed at a time, if you attempt to get through a space smaller than the creature or object you engulf could fit through, it is expelled to an open space within 5 feet of you. The same happens if you become smaller than the creature or object you are engulfing, if you die, or if the creature you are engulfing breaks free from your grapple. Additionally, while you’re not incapacitated, you may expel a creature or object from your body, causing it to land in an empty space within 5 feet of you (no action required).

Malleable size Your amorphous body can change in size; however, it takes quite some effort to do so. Once you reach 5th level, you may cast Enlarge/Reduce once without requiring material components, targeting yourself. You regain the ability to cast this spell upon finishing a long rest.

Humanoid form, Ooze form As an action you may switch between your humanoid and ooze form. Your humanoid form has two limbs for arms, two for legs and a head, but your skin texture and colour stays unchanged and you cant produce hair. Some oozes form blobs of themselves above their heads to represent a gooey wig. Your ooze form is roughly a spherical blob with no appendages, but it can still wield equipment as if it had two hands and legs. Switching between these forms does not affect your ability to use or wield equipment. You can benefit from armor regardless of your shape, even if you change shape while wearing armor.

Languages you can speak, read, and write common as well as one other language of your choice.

Poison slime

Engulf Your engulf ability deals poison damage

Silent slider Like how poison is a silent killer, your movements can mimic such abilities, giving you proficiency in stealth.

Poisoning the poison due to their poisonous bodies, the poison in their body mixes with the new poison, giving them resistance to both poison damage, and the condition. You are also proficient with the Poisoners kit.

Water slime

Engulf Your engulf ability does not deal damage, nor can it dissolve matter. Instead due to the watery substance found in water slimes body it finds its much easier to dilute most substances and distribute energy within, giving it the ability to cast the spell absorb element once per long rest.

Slippery body Slimes with this type of body tend to get out of sticky situations and traverse a lot easier, you gain proficiency in acrobatics and have a 35ft walking speed.

Pure water body When electricity strikes a water slime, it takes minimal effect due to the pure nature of the fluid within, spreading it throughout its entire body and often out, giving it a resistance to lightning damage.

Buoyant Your body is made of mostly water, but also some materials less dense than water. Your body acts as if it was permanently under the effects of the Water Walking spell, allowing you to walk on any liquid but also making it impossible for you to sink. This trait does not function if you are heavily encumbered. This effect is non-magical.

Succubus-Incubus

Succubi and Incubi are iconic fiends in the multiverse and they exist within both the Abyss and 9 Hells, sometimes one makes its way onto the mortal plane. Sometimes these fiends come to the mortal plane in service of a wizard, a higher fiend, or just for their own reasons. Usually a succubus/incubuses reason for being on the mortal plane is nefarious but that is not always the case.

Sunborn

"When the Sun is at it's highest may you not face my wrath."

Physical Description

The sunborn are odd celestial creatures with a humanoid shape. Everything below their neck is rather human looking in form. Their head, however, resembles a miniature star, like the sun. The colors of the spherical head vary in the way that stars change colors as their lives decrease, from blue, to white, yellow, then red. As they age, their heads swell and turn red, like how stars expand into red giants in their last eons. The rest of their body is semi-translucent, resembling the beautiful star dotted cosmos. They usually wear clothing to cover this up, but the traditional garb is wrappings. History

The sunborn are believed to have been nascent stars from beyond. Those who could not become the centers of their own cosmos instead took a smaller form to wander about the universe. Several meteor showers occurred upon their arrival. Upon striking ground, their bodies unfurled from their super hot heads. They came, the celestials they were, to observe and help those in need of it. With their fiery powers, they helped cultivate the crops and keep the homes warm. People in ancient times called them "sun heads" and worshiped them as demigods. It is said that the extraterrestrial travel that allowed the sunborns to come has long been exhausted, leaving them stranded here. They hope to attract the attention of other celestials so they may reacquire flight and eventually return to their place in the stars. Society

The sunborn live around temples dedicated to them, as well as worship of the sun. They are not too numerous in population. One sunborn is declared to be the "star" and head of the others. This is a cyclical process and the sunborns swap regularly. They are curious about things like human invention, elven druidic practice, and mortal magic in general. Sunborns reproduce via a ritual which gathers an immense amount of energy from the suns rays. It is very labor intensive and time expensive to birth a new sunborn to the world. After maybe a year of incubating, a white-hot sunborn emerges from birth. It takes on a more golden hue as it ages, and then eventually darkens. Some sunborn heads turn to red giants whilst others to brown dwarves. When they die, their heads implode and their bodies dissolve into cosmic dust. They believe it is their bodies fate for some to die in order to return home.

Sunborn Names

Sunborn names usually have themes of the sun and radiance. They do not have gender preferences in nomenclature.

Name: Helios, Lux, Sonn, Corona

Tiefling variants

TzHaar

The following is a Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition homebrew race based on the race of creatures from RuneScape. The original concept and images are property of Jagex, Ltd.

The TzHaar

TzHaar (pronounced TZAR) are a race of golem-like creatures that inhabit magma-lit caves deep beneath volcanoes. The word "TzHaar" means "sacred fire". The TzHaar society is unlike most others, and only vaguely resembles any that exists on the surface.

Gentle Monsters

Despite their fearsome and powerful appearance, the TzHaar are a peaceful race, and have existed beneath the surface for thousands of years. Even today, the finer aspects of their society remain a point of great mystery amongst scholars.

Biologically, the TzHaar are a great marvel. They appear like burning rocks, but are made of solid obsidian and magma. Even though they appear strong and brutish, they are actually gentle and kind. They possess four powerful arms, each of which has three fingers. The TzHaar are physically very strong, and they very rarely suffer from disease. They feed on large mammals and rodents that tunnel beneath the surface.

TzHaar live very long lives, although the exact length is unknown. The TzHaar have the unique ability of memory transfer; a TzHaar will retain all of the knowledge and memories of its ancestors had before it. This generally makes the TzHaar a very wise race.

From Lava, To Lava

The TzHaar are born from eggs which are incubated in pools of molten lava. Even stranger than their birth is their death. When the TzHaar die, their bodies harden and lose all mobility. Yet, even as their bodies fail, their minds remain eternally locked within their corpses, which are often displayed in a statue-like state or broken down into the TzHaar's holy currency known as tokkul. Despite this horrible fate, the TzHaar seem to accept this, and believe that when they die their souls will eventually be brought to the heart of the volcano and given new life.

Castes

One of the most prominent parts of TzHaar society is its caste system, which dictates what a TzHaar will do in life. These castes are the TzHaar-Ket, TzHaar-Mej, and TzHaar-Hur. At birth, a TzHaar's caste is chosen based on their physical and mental traits, and they strictly follow this for the rest of their life. TzHaar of the same caste may look remarkably similar to the eye of an outsider, but they can tell each other apart by subtle differences in the shape of their rocky bodies and patterns of magma.

When a TzHaar reaches an age at which they can no longer perform the jobs their caste dictates, they are relieved of their duties and are permitted to enter a life of "retirement". Even as elders though, the TzHaar are powerful, and will often occupy their time by mining or having friendly battles with one another for entertainment.

Honor

The TzHaar value honor and chivalry above all else. Throughout their history, no TzHaar has ever committed a crime, although crime is the subject of some of their fictional tales and plays. Because most humanoids have no such values in the eyes of the TzHaar, they are cautious in dealing with them and keep most of their civilizations blocked off from outsiders.

Amongst the fighting castes, combat is incredibly popular. The TzHaar partake in gladiator-style combat, and fight ancient creatures that live deep underground. To excel in friendly combat is a major goal of most fighting TzHaar. Ultimately, however, to perform the duties of one's caste well is the primary goal of the TzHaar.

TzHaar Names TzHaar are genderless. They have a unique naming system consisting of multiple hyphenated names. The first part of their name is always "TzHaar", indicating their race. The second is the name of their caste. The third is the given name. TzHaar given names are typically very short, one syllable names. For example, a TzHaar-Hur might be called TzHaar-Hur-Lek.

Typical TzHaar given names: Ak, Brekt, Ix, Jal, Kah, Lor, Roh, Tel, Zuh.

TzHaar will typically refer to creatures of other species by their given name preceded by "JalYt". This prefix translates literally to "cold foreigner". Appearance

The TzHaar vary greatly in appearance depending on their caste. All of them, however, have bulky bodies made of jagged, black obsidian and glowing orange magma. The magma forms swirling or jagged patterns on the surface of their bodies. They wear very little clothing or armor, if any. TzHaar typically wear just a few ornamental metal objects such as decorative bracelets and chains.

TzHaar speak with a unique accent that can occasionally make it difficult to understand their Common. They lack the system of internal muscles and organs used by most humanoids to create speech, and rely on twisting, contorting, and grinding the rocky interiors of the bodies to replicate the sounds as best they can. The TzHaar accent can best be described as normal sounding speech of a very deep pitch, overlaid with scratching and crumbling earthy noises which are nearly as loud as the speech itself.

TzHaar Traits

Age. The TzHaar's true natural lifespan is not known for certain, but many have been known to live for centuries.

Alignment. The TzHaar value honor and chivalry above all else. Throughout their history, no TzHaar has ever committed a crime. As such, TzHaar are almost exclusively Lawful Good.

Size. TzHaar vary widely in height, weight, and appearance based on their subrace. Your size is medium.

Speed. Big and incredibly heavy creatures, the TzHaar aren't as swift as most humanoids. You have a walking speed of 25 ft.

Natural Armor. Your rocky body provides you with natural protection, and you cannot wear regular armor except for a shield. Your AC is equal to 12 + your Constitution modifier, and a shield's benefits apply as normal.

Rock Body. Your body is made up of solid obsidian and magma. As such, you are immune to the petrified condition, have resistance to fire damage, and are immune to damage from lava. You can't use your body to ignite or burn objects.

Many Arms. All TzHaar have four arms. Two arms act as the primary arms, behaving normally, and two more are secondary. Your secondary arms are much smaller, and not as strong or mechanically skilled. You can grasp things with your secondary arms with a reach of 5 feet, and they each can lift a number of pounds equal to three times your Strength score. You can use them to do the following simple tasks: lift, drop, hold, push, or pull an object; or open or close a door or a container. Your DM might allow other simple tasks to be added to that list of options. The secondary arms can't wield weapons or shields or do anything that requires manual precision, such as using magic items, performing the somatic components of a spell, or grappling or shoving creatures.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Terran and Common.

TzHaar Subraces

Each TzHaar is born into a caste based on their shape, size, and ability. Each of the TzHaar castes is considered equal in power and respectability, but differs in its role in society. By dividing themselves, the TzHaar are able to effectively manage their people and retain a power balance. You belong to one of the following castes, which acts as your subrace.

TzHaar-Ket

The TzHaar-Ket are the guardians and police force of the TzHaar. If ever a TzHaar city were threatened, the TzHaar-Ket would be the first to defend it. Towering over the other castes with their tall and wide stature, the TzHaar-Ket are fearsome soldiers that follow a code not unlike the concept of chivalry.

TzHaar-Ket have very bulky legs and primary arms. Their heads sit in the center of their large, round torsos. They are the largest of the TzHaar. They are between 6'1" and 6'5" in height, and weigh between 700 and 850 lbs. If you choose this subrace, you gain the following characteristics:

Earthly Grip. You can grapple a single target using both of your secondary arms together.

Burly. You gain proficiency in Athletics.

TzHaar-Mej

The TzHaar-Mej are the mystic class of the TzHaar, although they are also the race's leading and governing class. As mystics, the TzHaar-Mej are generally the wisest, and are responsible not only for governing the city, but for recording their people's history in their libraries.

TzHaar-Mej are much less bulky than their counterparts. They have small, cone-shaped torsos, and small feet and hands. Their thin primary arms are only slightly larger than their secondary arms. Atop their torsos sit their pointed heads, which are flanked by two wide, arched spikes. Between these spikes, directly above their heads, lies a large floating ball of magma. They are between 5'7" and 5'11" in height, and weigh between 400 and 500 lbs. If you choose this subrace, you gain the following characteristics:

Comes in Handy. You can use either of your secondary arms to satisfy the somatic components of spells you cast, provided at least one of them is free.

Fire Mage. You know the dancing lights cantrip. Starting at 3rd level, you can cast chromatic orb with this trait, but can only use the fire orb. Starting at 5th level, you can cast flaming sphere with this trait. Once you cast a spell with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells. Whenever you cast dancing lights or flaming sphere with this trait, they appear as balls of lava rather than their normal form, but their effects remain the same.

TzHaar-Hur

The TzHaar-Hur are the craftsman class of the TzHaar. If pressed to combat, the TzHaar-Hur often prefer to use only their fists. Despite their lack of combat ability, the TzHaar-Hur are incredibly important to the TzHaar, and are capable of forging weaponry from obsidian found in the volcanoes where they dwell. Apart from weaponry, the TzHaar-Hur are also excellent miners, architects, and sculptors.

TzHaar-Hur are the smallest of the TzHaar, standing much shorter than the other castes. They have no legs, instead using a rotating ball of magma at the bottom of their torsos to push themselves across the ground. Their small heads poke out from in between their shoulders. They have small primary arms which, like the TzHaar-Mej, are only slightly larger than their secondary arms. They are between 3'10" and 4'2" in height and weigh between 450 and 600 lbs. If you choose this subrace, you gain the following characteristics:

Volcanic Touch. Using a bonus action, you can touch a weapon or up to 10 pieces of ammunition, causing them to heat up and glow with pale orange light. For the next 1 minute, attacks made with the weapon or ammunition deal an extra 1d4 fire damage. The weapon or ammunition must be made of or tipped with metal, stone, or another inflammable material. You can use this feature once, and regain the ability to do so after completing a short rest.

Skilled Artisan. You gain proficiency in a tool set of your choice, and your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make using it. You can operate tools using your secondary arms. You also gain proficiency in one of the following skills: Arcana, Investigation, Religion, History.

Variant Minotaur: Airut

The following is a Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition homebrew race based on the race of creatures from RuneScape. The original concept and images are property of Jagex, Ltd.

The Airut Race

Airut are strange boar-like humanoid creatures that somewhat resemble the minotaur. Their bizarre mouths, many horns, and bulkier physique, however, distinguish them. They are cruel, chaotic creatures that take great pleasure in combat. They are proud warriors who love not only to brawl and battle with one another, but to pulverize their enemies in combat. They praise a powerful godly beast by the name of Tuska. This goddess shares not only their boar-like appearance, but their viciousness and lack of sympathy for their foes. If enough Airut gather together, they can summon Tuska in order to crush their enemies with ease.

Appearance

Airut are similar in appearance to the Minotaur, but actually bear more resemblance to the boar than to the bull. They have between four and six front-curving horns, one larger pair sprouting from just behind the eyes, and one to two smaller pairs along the side of the jaw. They have strange mouths with mandible-like flaps that open laterally, revealing their small pointed teeth within. Most Airut wear masks fashioned from poorly welded together bits of metal; they are better warriors than smiths.

Their heads are small in comparison to their massive bodies, even wider and bulkier than most Minotaurs. They have massive, bulging necks, a huge torso, bulky arms, large hands, and small, thinner legs. Their skin is either a pale purple or tan color, and they have no hair, but they usually cover their bodies partly with crude clothing made from black fur around their chest, back, hands, and waist. Airut can walk on all fours or bipedally. Their movement on all fours is similar to that of an ape's, curling their hands into fists and putting the majority of their weight on their forelimbs.

"It's been a week or so since the arrival of the beast, and there are hundreds of them now. Some Naragi in the camp are calling them Airut' - since they wear masks, like the warrior Airut from our histories. The Airut have been attacking the camp, killing our people, and we've been fleeing when we can. It does not help. The first Airut was a harbinger: now they are flooding into our world.

Some of us have been tasked with scout duty, trying to anticipate their attacks. I am one of them, and I was among those who made the latest discovery. Through the Airut's portal, a new breed of their race appeared, dressed in furred robes, carrying a staff. They looked something like priests, and their leader - her face without a mask - gathered the Airut about her. She raised her staff and shouted, in a language that our light-weaver twisted and reformed as: 'Tuska will eat of them, and they will be of Tuska! They will fill the belly of a god! This is the gift of Tuska!' The leader then led the Airut in a chant of 'Tus-ka, Tus-ka, Tus-ka', waving her arms to encourage them to shout louder and louder."

Airut Names Airut use a single given name, typically of just one or two syllables.

Typical Airut names: Cormes, Durzag, Krar, Tuz.

Wolf Walker

Physical Description

Wolf walkers are wolves that have the ability to stand, talk, wear armor, and wield weapons. Their furs come in many colors like brown, black, or grey and some have mixed colors. Some can have rare colors like red or white. Males tend to be over 6 feet tall while females tend to be over 5 feet tall. Most wolf walkers wear leather or hide armor but some can wear armor like plate armor or chain mail. Wolf walkers also make helmets that can allow them to still bite. Wolf walkers don't wear armor on their paws or hands.

History

No one really knows how these wolves gained the ability to stand, communicate telepathically, and use items or weapons. Some say it was the work of the gods and others say it was caused by magic. The wolf walkers themselves don't how they were able to do all these things. The wolf walkers still behave like regular wolves but more civilized. Some wolf walkers either stay in the woods with their own kind or make villages that are able to coexist with other species. Wolf walkers are very skilled hunters and warriors, but some are skilled magic users. Wolf walkers are feared by humans and orcs; both races have tried to eradicate them or enslave them. Most humans don't fear them as some have helped them get through struggles. However bear type races and wolf walkers hate each other, the reason is that it's in their nature. It is rare to see a wolf walker and a bear type race get along or fight together. There have been many wars between both races, resulting in the bears winning or the wolves winning, sometimes a draw. Wolf walkers aren't always together though, many packs have fought each other for land or resources. Other races and creatures try to stay out of pack territory to avoid trouble. Most of the time people will only see a wolf walker as a mercenary.

Society

Wolf walkers usually live in packs. Some will leave to form or join another pack to make allies, but most wolf walkers will stay in their pack. Wolf walker packs can stay in one place or move around. When a wolf walker becomes 15 years old, they are to travel alone to a location, survive for a year and come back. No matter what, a wolf walker is loyal to their family and pack. Betraying them shows dishonor and can lead to exile or death. In each pack, there is an alpha, beta, 2 sentinels, and 5 elders. As the alpha leads the pack, the beta is second of command helping the alpha with the pack. The 2 sentinels protect the alpha and beta and help protect the pack. The 5 elders guide the alpha and beta, they decide whether the alpha's orders can happen or not. If a wolf walker wants to be an alpha or beta they must fight them in a duel, they can choose to fight to the death or not. Wolf walker packs aren't only just filled with wolf walkers, regular wolves and dire wolves are in some packs as pets like how a human would have a dog in a family. Some wolf walkers that leave a pack often become mercenaries for armies, villages, caravans, or for some individuals.

All wolf walkers in a pack are honorable fighters and have a code known as The Wolves' Code:

• Accept challenges from others, if there is time or if the opponent is worthy.
• Never fight dirty. Do not kill civilians, you may kill one if they attack you or your comrade. Attack only if the threat attacks first and if the threat refuses to leave the territory. Follow all orders unless the order goes against The Wolves' Code. Everyone in the pack is family, fight with your comrades. If any village or camp still has innocents, fight the enemy to the last wolf until everyone has been evacuated. Surrender only if you are sure that the enemy will keep their word. Know the priority of life: the innocent, then our comrades, and then ourselves.

Anyone that breaks this code is killed or if possible brought to trial resulting in exile or death. The Wolves' Code only applies to a wolf walker that is in a pack.
