Nerf Wrangler.
When handling or calming beasts, especially Nerfs, the Herder has advantage on Animal Handling checks. If a Nerf panics or becomes startled, the Herder can use a bonus action to calm it with soft whistles or a thrown puff of feed.
Scruffy Appearance.
Nerf Herders are famously unkempt — their coats caked with dried sponge dust, mud, and meadow pollen. Other travelers often underestimate them, though their disarming, down-to-earth manner grants advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks when dealing with rural folk.
Sponge Whisperer.
Once per short rest, the Herder can gently wring or “milk” a soaked Nerf to extract a gallon of clean, filtered water. Druids and alchemists prize their skill, though few outsiders want to smell like one afterward.

Description
Nerf Herders spend their lives guiding slow, absorbent herds through the marshes and meadows where sponge wool thrives. They are practical, patient folk with weathered faces, sun-bleached hair, and a certain scruffy charm.
They’re experts at spotting storms before they break, knowing that a herd of soaked Nerfs can double in weight within minutes. While rarely wealthy, a Nerf Herder can always find work, for every village needs someone willing to chase a herd that’s decided to roll downhill like a wave of walking bath sponges.
Rumor:
A good Nerf Herder can tell the coming weather by squeezing a handful of Nerf fleece — if it drips, the rain’s already on its way.
