Homebrew Ferrits Species Details
The world has eyes, a predatory gaze for both hunters and hunted alike. A flurry of gems which brings the stars to the densest of forests and brightest of snow planes. But fear not the entity that lurks behind the threat. For one would be rare to find better company then the Ferrits. The Marts host the wildest parties, the Domis can find anything at half the price and the Phisi will show you a world going beyond one's normal sight. Fear not the starry gaze in Ferrit territory. For the only thing they hunt for, is friends
The goal of most Ferrits is to have as many friends as possible. Extremely friendly even sometimes to their own detriment! Often they can be seen as too forward for those new to leave their homeland or cold for those that have known they can be much and try a bit too much to keep their distance, misunderstanding the meaning of personal space. But as a whole the nomadic race make for very proficient farmers & hunters, although they love play fighting, generally they tend to avoid dangerous confrontations and excessive violence.
Tiny Terrors
The Ferrits LOVE attention, be it centerstage or as a collective they are often spotted roaming center street in cities near their tribe. Standing about 3 feet tall, they bare the body of hunters but shortened and elongated to an almost comical aspect but their rambunctious attitudes and general positive view on life leads to them not minding the remark and insults of others. They do not fear being stepped on or trampled as their natural agility helps them navigate tighter paths. They are inclined to be lanky, weighing between 45 and 50 pounds.
Ferrits have a short fur coat with a color and pattern made to fit their environment. Some are even seen to change color with seasons to hide better in their seasons. The Marts subspecies to tend to have a more wild, ruffled coat with longer hair while the Phisi more exotic; their coats being marked with their power to borrow from the Astral. Generally it is viewed in Phisi culture that the more exotic their color and patterns the stronger one is in psychic abilities
Clothing tents to be light or minimalistic, more often then not even just a courtesy for other furless species. Their anatomy doesn't show anything private easily and their body is designed to deal with colder temperatures with ease. Though their love for baubles and shiny stuff is often seen by them hoarding treasure or an abundance or "goodies" yet rarely do they actually wear those for fear of thieves.
Curious to a Fault
Ferrits absolutely adore discovering new cultures and taking bits with them as they travel. The more sedentary Ferrits will quickly become indistinguishable from the local culture, becoming hearty foul mouthed smiths when living with dwarves or radiate a almost belittling elegance with Elven nations.
Most Ferrits live in small, rowdy nomadic communities. They rarely build kingdoms of their own although heads will often hold land to serve as their center anchor around the tribe's travel paths.
Exploring Opportunities
Like Halflings, Ferrits usually set out on the adventurer’s path to defend their communities, support their friends, or explore a wide and wonder-filled world. For them, adventuring is less a necessity to fulfill their curious and exploratoy nature.
