Homebrew Aberrant Species Details

"Trekking the blinking hallways, a man with pale white skin stretched across a fleshless skull, aberrant growths lurking beneath his fingertips waiting to strike. He feels as though he is mere inches from finding his true origins."

Alienfolk

Aberrants are humanoids who had, over the years from exposure to alien forces to take on extraterrestrial appearances. Causing their skin to become pale and drawn tight across their bones, alien growths lurk deep inside their bodies, waiting to be released. 

Pariahs

Instead of being accepted by other races, they were shunned for their Monstrosity appearances and forced to live in shadowy parts of the world. Most fall to the expectations of other races and resent them for their hate, but some do rise to become well known and respected.

Aberrants have a very different way of physiology compared to other races, allowing them to be versatile on whatever they wish to do.
