Homebrew Arahkun Species Details

Cute, furry, and with black and white striped patterns, the Arahkun are found in wooded areas of the Feywild. Prone to fits of anger and territorial pride, this has favoured their survival in the harsh Feywild, although this is countered by their penchant for taking shiny things that are probably best left alone.

They are sometimes called raccoons because it is the word a pack of Arahkun will cry when danger approaches.
