Homebrew Floof Species Details

Floofs are small fluffy almost undead creatures but don’t let the fact they’re half undead lead you to believe they’re inherently evil or cold hearted as in fact they’re quite the opposite. The life of a floof is often filled with making friends to those who deserve it and making the flora and fauna around them happy to whatever extent they can. But if they should be angered a floof may not look threatening by itself but when combined with the magic of it’s nature it can be a force to be reckoned with.

Small and fluffy

A floof’s height is something of a concern to most people when they see them only standing about 1 foot on average they are often mistaken for adorable house pets when combined with their warm and soft fur coat. The fur coat of a floof is somewhat adaptable being able to keep it warm in the cold and cool in the summers by trapping water, it also helps attract all sorts of animals to be their friend with it feeling soft or hard depending on not only the mood of the floof but on the preference of the fauna rubbing against it.

Limbless Traveler

Thanks to the floofs being one with nature and due to their lack of arms or legs they have evolved to hop around for travel, which is surprisingly effective with them being able to hop around 4 feet in 6 seconds. On the other hand instead of natural arms floofs use twigs as hands and hold things with their fluff, luckily the twigs will often be magical and will be able to be bend and moved like small natural limbs.

Friends to fauna and flora

A floof is naturally kind to any living being they meet, often giving a new person a hug if they’re willing to get them to feel their soft fluffy coat. Not only does this natural friendliness extend to just living animals it also extends to living plants too with large groups of these floofs gathering in forrests and areas of naturally large growth which is only strengthened with their natural aura which makes plants happier to be around them, growing them to their maximum capabilities just by being friendly around them.

Quick to Friend

Often no matter what they’ve heard unless it has had negative effects on their friends they will try to be kind and make companions out of any new person, speaking quickly and trying to embrace anyone they meet just so they can make friends. The feelers ontop a floof can also be used by the floof to often pat, boop the nose of, or just get the attention of new people and are as soft to touch as their bodies.

Desirable Fluff

Unfortunately for the floof they have recently started being hunted and it’s already taken a toll with most floof communities just becoming groups of 3 for fear of attracting unwanted attention from those that want to hunt them. Hunters will go after this for either their coat to shave off and use as clothing, their scales for use in decorating or finally to eat as in most cultures they are classified as a delicacy and not as an equal but an animal for pets and food.

Power of nature

Floofs have the friendship of nature to turn to whenever they should need help and often nature will answer by gifting them either an ability or an ally by calling their animal friends including humanoids. All floofs thanks to being around nature for so long have evolved and developed to the point where they’re one with nature and can draw magic just from there.

Wonder of the world’s nature

The reasons as to why a floof may find itself on a quest or adventure would be either to help their friends in something that the floof would be happy to help with, maybe reuniting people or saving others from danger, another could be that the nature that they hold so close is in danger or will be if they do not act. For them exploring is just a new, exciting was to make friends and learn the wonders of nature.

Floof Names

floof names can widely differ but often have a almost cute or child like wonder to them, and more often than not including at least a singular y in them. They will have only one name which doesn’t really have a specified gender to it with their last name being shortened to the single letter so they can quickly communicate and so their friends can remember them at a whim.

Names: lubyn, Flerpy, Owyma

Floofs will often speak very quickly though when in their natural tongue or in common so someone of hard hearing may need a bit more time to understand them.
