Homebrew Canisian Species Details

Canisians originated in the Feywild, where they spoke Sylvan and embodied the spirit of family and hunting. In time, these wolffolk walked into other worlds, bringing the fey realm’s exuberance with them and learning new languages as they went.

Canisians are bipedal, with fur in a variety of colors. They have a keen sense and powerful jaws and are full of energy, like a wound-up spring.
