Homebrew Almiraj Species Details
Almiraj resemble a large rabbit or hare with yellowish fur and a 1‑foot-long (30-centimetre) spiralled horn, usually black in colour, on their foreheads, like unicorns. Almiraj were usually timid creatures, considered stupid and unpredictable by some. However, almiraj were also fearless. They were easy to pet and tame, and incredibly faithful to their masters, and spellcasters often sought them to make them their familiars. Over time, as the lands evolved, so did the Almiraj. Eventually, they had high intelligence, some of which could rival a wizard. Soon, they were treated as equals by the other races.
