Canidae Traits
Age: As dog-human hybrids, canites’ lifespans have evolved to mature quicker than humans, so they can begin hunting faster. Canites reach maturity at 1-2 years old, reach adulthood at the age of 5 and generally live to be 35 to 40 years of age. Alignment: Canites have no preference toward law or chaos. However, canites do lean strongly towards good over evil.Ability Score Increase
