Homebrew Keronian Species Details

Appearance

Keronians are frog-like amphibians that grow tails when young and breathe in air. However, they can breathe underwater through the gills they apparently do not lose after their transition from a tadpole. They are sensitive to changes in atmospheric humidity. Due to their frog like DNA, it is likely they descended (evolved) from frogs.

Physically Keronians are small creatures, with adults standing only about two feet tall. Their skin color comes in a rainbow of different pigmentations. Such known colors are: Green, red, blue, dark blue, light blue, black, and yellow. On their faces, male keronians have white skin (some as charcoal gray) extending from right above their mouths down the side of their face and to their necks. While female Keronians and young ones, (male and female) have this feature much higher on their face, extending to around their eyes.

On both their belly and hat, most members of this race wear a symbol of sorts. Some of them don't have one on their stomachs, as it can be removed at will as opposed to the one on their heads. The design and color of the it is different for each individual. It is shown to be removable, thus suggesting it is not something innate.
