Homebrew Faumal Species Details

Faumals originated in the Feywild, where they spoke Sylvan and Magalia. They embodied the spirit of nature and wonder of the wilderness. In time, these animalfolk wondered into other worlds, bringing the fey realm’s exuberance with them and learning new languages as they went.

Faumals are bipedal mostly, with the characteristic of many different species of mammals. Faumals appear in many shapes and sizes with fur in a variety of colors. They share the keen senses and a natural dexterity of the animals they share their appearance with. Faumals are blessed with a little fey luck, helping them stay a bit ahead of the danger they find themselves in.
