Homebrew Tzinacan Species Details

The tzinacan are a race of bat-like people who live in caves, jungles, and the underdark. Like their distant cousins, the yuan ti, they began as humans but, either through geographic accidents or great threats, began to worship unusual forces that transformed them into what they are today. However, unlike the yuan ti, they have no ambition for conquest or dominance. His ambitions are as simple as making another day.
