Homebrew Vulpin Species Details

Poor things. Being hunted all across the world with no actual home. I pity the creatures.

Just wait until you get a whole bunch of gold stolen by them like I did, you'll talk differently about those shifty foxes.

— Peasant conversation

Hunted for their fur, ears and tails Vulpin are a race on the brink of extinction. These foxlike humanoids are curious by nature, but their hunted status forbids them from mingling in the worlds affairs. With no actual home they are scattered across the world, most of the times by themselves.

Wandering Souls

Without an actual home the Vulpin roam the lands remaining hidden and avoiding big cities. While cloaked they may help a small town doing small chores or getting rid of a monster and during this they will never reveal there true identity.

Most will travel alone, but sometimes a group will encounter one another and hide deep within a forested area. This does not last long however as their curious nature makes them set out again to satisfy their curiosity.

Criminal disposition

Due to their elusive nature and hiding skills Vulpin are often recruited by unsavory businesses in exchange for shelter. The Vulpin have since gained a reputation as thieves and assassins.

Brink of extinction

Vulpin travel alone and only occasionally meet their brethren. During these times they try to ensure that their race continues to exist. Most Vulpin know however this is a lost cause, as their are only a few of them still left.

Vulpin Names

When born children take up names from their parents they no longer use.
