Homebrew Weedcats Species Details
Weedcats are a race which split from the tabaxis a few thousand years ago and since then developed their own characteristics and way of life. They still look similiar to their cousins but are usually different in color, height and their abilities. This is because they are living in dangerous areas where they can find a good amount of plants or mushrooms which have hallucinogen, narcotic, psychoactive, CNS stimulants and depressants or dissociative anesthetics properties. So they usually are around the underdark in the mushroom biomes or in the jungles of the world like the black, the scarlet or the grey jungle. They rarely, even live in normal forests where they can find enough of their beloved drugs. Their colours range from usual greenish fur to white, black and brown and very rarely even purple, pink, blue and so on.
