Homebrew Canid Species Details
Canids originate in the Feywild, though have since spread across Aurelia and all other corners of the world. They have adapted, like many other races with Sylvan ancestry, to the predominant cultures with which they integrate themselves. Though they have strong tell-tale canine features-- elongated snout with sharp teeth, large triangular ears, and fur-covered body-- their size, shape, and markings vary wildly.
These bipedal adventurers make excellent companions, as many Canids value loyalty above all else. Their inherent magical capabilities make them deft spellcasters, and their canine features make for steadfast warriors.
