Homebrew Gakhauni Species Details
Pledging loyalty to the God whose death birthed them, the Gakhauni are a race of pig-folk. Often standing at 6 or 7 feet tall, with long snouts and blood-smeared tusks, these people wander wastes and savannahs, always searching for the next most dangerous game to hunt.
Born for glory, Gakhauni are taught to fight before they can even walk. Their culture revolves around hunting and slaying, fighting, and killing. They carry titles that follow their name, mentioning the most dangerous thing that they’ve slain in their lifetime.
However, the instance of surname has no bearing on the status of a Gakhauni, as killing each other is much easier than most of the entities that one might come to slay. Every beast, though some may hold similarities, has a different threat or danger to them, and different strategies must be utilized, making every Gakhauni’s title important and unique.
