DnD beyond' s mechanics are the limit! Down to being able to customize what limbs you have.

this is where you choose lesser body parts that still all have uniqe bonuses. Though they are much lesser. ( This combined with the Major parts system makes for practically infinite possibilities) 


You automatically count as humanoid as long as you do not pick a body part that says otherwise.

This is where you choose powers for your character. Similar to how all races of a uniqe ability (at least most of them.) This is where you pick yours, you get 1 major ability and one minor ability. 

Choose one score to increase by 2, and one to increase by 1.

You may choose 1 from this set of lesser abilities. 

Cryptozyics can live anywhere from 100-500 years. So as extremely rare as they are, any you encounter likely were born into a very diffrent world. 

Cryptozyics are incredibly rare. It is said that there are only a few dozen left in the world. They are creatures of fairy tales, often told to scare children. Many people think of them as nothing except myths and legends, and will call any who claim to encounter one insane. Not all Cryptozyics are evil however, some can be quite the opposite. Going as far as to endanger themselves to help others whom they might find in danger in a forest or valley. No Cryptozyics will ever go into a public area on their own, and will only go if with a group of normal individuals who can protect there identity. 


Creation: The original Cryptozyics were created by both black magic and light magic. Some were made to cause pain and suffering. Some were made to counter thier evil counter parts. Eventually when thier masters died off they turned wild, doing everything they could to survive. Cryptozyics are entirely sentient, capable of feeling all emotion. Though there hard lives have made them cold and distant. When a Cryptozyic has a child. That Child will maintain some of the properties of it's parent, sometimes even mutating it's own abilities and appearance. The main goal of Cryptozyics is to survive, and preserve thier own species.
