Homebrew Corgyn Species Details
A stocky, cheerful, and capable humanoid-canine race, legend says that the Corgyn once worked and fought side by side with faeries and sprites in the Feywild. Though they appear similar to the humanoid-canine Dogfolk of the Material Plane, they are unrelated. Corgyn trace their origins to the Feywild, though they have long departed from their Blink Dog ancestors.
Gleeful playmates, loyal protectors, tenacious workers, and wise stewards, they credit the success of their society to their steadfast, balanced, and harmonious approach to life and nature. If there's a job to be done, no matter the weather, a Corgyn can do it- And all with a lolling grin on their face! They form strong pack bonds within their affinity groups, though they don't seem to care about race or heritage, rather preferring to find commonality amongst those that are willing to help keep "the pack" safe and happy.
