Homebrew Corazoa Species Details

Protectors of The Coral

Corazoa mostly live underwater in coral reefs, or larger and rarer Coral Forests, where most of the Corazoa population reside. Due to their close proximity to the coral, they have developed a deep connection to it, and do everything in their power to defend the beauty of the coral from would-be threats. They respond to even the slightest of threats to their homes with relentless amounts of force, determined to protect their land by any means necessary. Due to the fact that they largely resemble coral as well, they can hide in it unnoticed for prolonged periods of time.

Varying Shapes

Corazoa vary in size, from as small as 2 feet tall, to as large as an imposing 8 feet in some cases, rivaling that of even the Goliaths and Giffs. Their bulk varies as well, some Corazoa being rather thin, and others being much larger, ranging from 40 pounds all the way up to 500. 

Good Natured

Corazoa tend to lean towards good alignments, ranging from lawful to chaotic depending on what coral reef or coral forest they live in. Evil Corazoa are hard to come by, but not unheard of. A Corazoa who's home has been destroyed can commonly stray to the path of evil, and lash out at the world for the loss of their coral home, although many Corazoa tend to move to a new coral reef or coral forest, attempting to prevent the same misdeeds from occurring again there.
