Homebrew Akatetl Species Details
The Akatetl are a race of earth elemental humanoids born from residual elemental energies trapped in the Material Plane. They appear to be highly detailed human-like statues made of earth, typically some form of stone. Their unique nature grants them several special abilities and advantages and has led many of them to worshipping elemental beings or gods of earth.
It is the dream of many Akatetl to one day graduate from stone and be reborn as a being of metal.
