Homebrew DACTYLIAN Species Details

One of the rarest races in the multiverse, the dactylians resemble a giant human hand and wrist. These unusual beings move about by crawling on their fingers as if they were legs.

Dactylians speak by leaning back on their carpus and making a mouth-like shape with their fingers and thumb. This method also allows them to eat, drink, and imbibe potions. When dealing with other races, dactylians sometimes wear fake eyes to put the others at ease.
