Homebrew Fuanus Species Details

The Faunus resemble elves in shape and size but have a set of antlers on the top of their heads and deer ears where human ones would be, have furry deer tails, and their skin often has white freckles. Like wild deer, Faunus antlers are shed each year and grow back larger than the previous year. Faunus can sometimes have to deer legs instead of human ones as well depending on their lineage. Faunus are at peace with nature and normally posses a caring approach to life.

Faunus exist as small tribes spread across the enchanted forests. Most often tribes appear near elf populations as the two races have found commonalities over time.

They are often the target of game hunters looking to poach their magical antlers for mystic use. For this reason they are rarely seen and remain hidden and independent of civilization.

Your Faunus character has a variety of natural abilities, the result of deep attunement with the natural world.
