Homebrew Ottimar Species Details
Small and Agile
Curious and agile, ottimars are known as skilled tinkers, wizards, explorers, and spies. The average ottimar stands between 3 and 5 feet tall, lives about 35 years, and weighs only 30 to 90 pounds. Male ottimars are generally much larger than females and make up most of the leaders in ottimar societies. Female ottimars make up more wizards and spies whereas male ottimars often become either warriors or politicians.
Their coloration is any shade of brown with lighter or white striations or spots, and their eyes are either brown or black. Some ottimars grow distinguishing beards or short hairdos though they never grow to sizes that impairs their agile nature. Ottimars wears most types of clothes but rarely covers their lower body, feet, or limbs.
Aquatic Lives
Ottimars make homes near water and sometimes under water, oftentimes by creating cavernous housings at riverbanks or in sea sedimentation with easy access to fresh air. Due to their short lifespan they rarely dedicate a lot of time to the creation of their homes, preferring instead to make homely holes in the ground or wandering the world as nomads. When they do create a society it consists of several of these holes with the surrounding area functioning as a place for social gatherings. Ottimar settlements are friendly and hospitible to all who come seeking respite, food, help, or entertainment. Any who visit ottimar settlements will quickly learn that their carniverous lifestyle doesn't constitute the most riveting culinary experience. Rarely are Ottimars seen angry or hostile, only when they do not have access to water or their friends are threatened or endangered.
Naive Nature
Their good nature and friendly disposition make ottimars frequent victims of manipulation and exploitation, however, vengeance and grudges rarely find its way to ottimar's heart. Ottimars get revenge through pranks and ill mannered behavior, something all ottimars finds funny. Ottimars will, however, avenge a murder of a loved one with ferocious hatred and anger. Anyone who truly manages to infuriate an ottimar will quickly find themselves slaughtered and eaten by a whole group of the ottimar's friends and family.
