Homebrew Feral Species Details

Gifted Beings

Ferals are a race who is said to have once been human. The story is that they were humans that crossed into the Feywilds and gained favor with God's of Nature. Who in turn bonded each human heir and their family bound to an animal. This caused them to be able to speak to and control that animal. Some also gained an attribute from their respective animal.

Secret Comunities

Ferals live in woods and mountains on the material plain and in the Feywild. Their homes and villages are so well crafted into the nature and landscape around them that you can walk through a city sized village and never know. Their communities are often sought after by druids in times of need.

They are hospitable to Druids, Clerics of the nature domain, and other Ferals. They will only treat others with anything other than distaste if they are blessed by a nature God, have proved that they deserve respect, or are vouched for by a favored party member. 

They are as varied as humans in civilization, culture, jobs, and art.

Names

They tend to have names derived from their respective Animals or from the nature around them, though there are many that have human, elven, Dwarven, or names from other cultures.
