Homebrew Cavehanger Species Details

Cavehangers are a very solitary race, only sticking in small villages of one another. You will rarely see them mixed in with other races as they tend to stay in close knit groups of family members and rarely stray away. They often fight with Goblin and Kobold hoards for territory and are well known for using their aerial advantage to send the smaller creatures plummeting down the sheer drop-offs around their villages. Each Cavehanger sports an elongated pinky from which their wings attach to their ankles. Clothes are a tricky thing when it comes to their wings and as they've adapted to wearing them they tend to cut out sleeves and pants. Instead they wear draped cloth fitted with slots to attatch armor to that hand from their necks and band around their ankles just below where their wings end. While their rudimentary ways are still very prevalent, they have adapted to building structures into the sides of cave walls that look eerily similar to those you find above ground, minus the stilts meant to keep them in place. Each house is connected with a small bridge ladder for the kids, the adults prefer to fly between buildings. Cavehangers have rather rustic tastes and personalities, not being the most civilized beings. A Cavehanger village's wealthy living can be compared to a human's poor.
