Homebrew Xolotl Species Details

The Xolotl are descendants of a town cursed by a hag to forever live in lush caves, although some do venture out into the open world. They appear as axolotl-human hybrids and never grow past 12 years old, except for a few.

Since they are axolotl-human hybrids, they can breathe underwater, see in the dark, and regenerate limbs. They can survive on land, but most prefer to stay in the water, as they cannot regenerate limbs and perform magic on land.
