Homebrew Desert Elfs Species Details
Desert elfs are a elf subrace variant. They usually have different shades of orange to brown skin, white to blond hair and bright yellow or golden pupil's. Their society evolved alongside humans and such they share many similarities with them, as well as human lifespan(although they keep their physical strength and healthiness until dead and are quite dextrous). Instead of typical elf characteristics, they possess resistance to most poisons and toxins, they can also withstand extream heat and need only a cup of water per day and can store water that lasts them at least a week in their bodies.
They are genuinely perceived in Elvish(even half elvish) societies as inferior species and have a reputation of rogue, thieves and infidels but are largely accepted in human societies.
