Variant Animal Breeder: Monster Breeder

Bored with the normal beasts of the wild, you have shifted your focus to breeding monstrosities. Society would never accept your creations, so you must work in secret until your creatures are ready for whatever you have planned for them.

Instead of History, you are trained in Arcana. Instead of a Tiny beast, you have a Tiny monstrosity of your choice of CR 1/8 or lower.
