Homebrew Behemoth Species Details
On the roads untraveled — where the rocks and tumbleweeds don't dare to go — walk the mighty behemoths. Seldom few adventurers have seen them, and even less have lived to tell their tales. Behemoths seem to take solace in their simplistic lifestyles, centering around fishing and hunting without the use of any tools. A behemoth naturally hunts by chasing down its prey, grabbing hold of the animal, and throwing it straight up into the air, relying on gravity to successfully cripple its soon-to-be meal. Behemoths look as though they stopped evolving once their fingers were just dexterous enough to tie basic knots. They have the disposition of simple beasts, as however smart a single behemoth is, they more than often will reply to attempts at conversation with affirmative grunts. They are a devastating race that weed out the weak with tests of strength and trials by combat.
