I wanted to have suggestions for a kuo toa race. It shouldn't be too hard considering they're already humanoids. The issue is the god creation stuff. Thanks for the responses!
Kuo-toa is not a highly complicated race, players may have to content with their madness, but I don't see their god creation being a problem. As it says in their entry "if enough kuo-toa believe that a god is real, the energy of their collective subconscious can cause that god to manifest as a physical entity." If there aren't enough kuo-toa, which is unlikely in an adventuring party, then this isn't a problem. If your players are dead set on making it a problem, you can rewrite lore or add a distant god who pays little attention to their worshipers.

There are nine races with the name "kou-toa". I have often found homebrew from the community not up to my expectations. Spelling mistakes, poor use of 5e syntax, and lack of modifiers are abundant. There are three I feel are up to snuff.
MittyPoots has a fine kou-toa, it however only has an ability score decrease, no increase. It makes mention of subraces, there are none listed.
Flounderd has everything you want in a kou-toa. It does use the third person pronoun instead of the second and the traits are not alphabetized, but that's me nitpicking it.
While the previous two used flavor text straight from the Monster Manual, SeaththeCleric goes beyond and writes their own. Everything is well organized and overall an exemplary race. Something that does concern me is the lack of tooltips which could mean a lack of modifiers but these are likely not related.

Are there any builds on the site already I should look into?
