Homebrew Finofer Species Details

The Finofer are a small but proud race of fishlike gophers. They mostly burrow in coastal areas, and their burrows generally go into the sea so they can escape from creatures that cannot swim. Although weak, the finofer are dextrous, smart, and able. They have a complex hierarchy and their underground communities can stretch for miles. The finofer love to train other aquatic mammals such as otters and even dolphins. They avoid fighting, preferring to swim and run away, but if their numbers are vastly superior, they will defend their home. Like many small races like kobolds, they make up for their ineptitude at fighting with a genius for traps. Because they fear attack, their burrows are huge mazes, quickly memorized by the finofer, but hard to navigate to others.
