Homebrew Awakened (Red Panda) Species Details

Some call them heralds of the fire elementals. Some call them the living flame. Most people call them red pandas. But, whatever name is attached, two things are true—they are cute, and they carry with them the power of fire. But being small, red pandas (or fire foxes as they are sometimes known) wield this elemental power with a healthy dose of humility. It’s pretty easy to be humble when the world considers you little more than a ball of fluff, but red pandas are usually pretty good at taking advantage of this fact. And let’s face it; the ability to shoot fire out of their paws certainly doesn’t hurt.

When startled or facing a larger foe, red pandas often stand up on their hind legs and spread out their arms to attempt to scare away the threat. Despite their best intentions, this rarely works. They also flop on their back exposing their dark underbelly, in order to try and hide. The fact that most humanoids find this display cute to the point of distraction is, it must be said, quite helpful, as even the hardest of hearts can be won over by a red panda’s toothy grin and adorable furry belly
