Homebrew Antherion Species Details

Antherion are a distinct race consisting of a humanoid/animal hybrid.  Little is truly known of their origins, but rumour has it that they are the product of Feral Lycanthrope and Wolf Interactions. Although they're not completely humanoid, they have adapted to speak the Common tongue and can communicate with people in this manner.

An Antherions eye colour varies in shades, from solid yellow to black, with dark circular pupils in the centre. They cannot discern colours, only shades of grey and can see in darkness (Darkvision). They are covered in thick fur that varies in colour, depending on the region they come from (e.g. Forests, Mountains), with pointed ears on top of their heads and a tail extending from the base of their tail bones. Additionally, they have elongated mouths which are accompanied by sharp teeth and have sharp claws on each of their hands.
