Homebrew Crabfolk Species Details

These creatures have just recently risen from the depths of the ocean, and much of their culture is unknown. What is known, however, is that they came from an underwater canyon deep below the surface. They claim to have dug into the sides of the canyon to make crude burrow like dwellings.

On the surface, crabfolk are taken with great caution due to their odd and mildly terrifying nature. Inns have been known to outright refuse crabfolk service out of fear, racism, or both. This bothers the crabfolk little, as they have grown used to social segregation due to their time in their deep-sea canyons.
