Homebrew Elafin Species Details

Elafin are a race of centauroids possessing the lower bodies of deer. They’re a very rare sight outside of the Feywild, where most elafin live in its deep, mystical forests and meadows. As natives of the Feywild, Elafin are naturals with magic and alchemy, though their skittish nature leads them to rarely interact with other races where avoidable. Notable numbers of elafin make their homes in the deep woodlands of Faerûn and other realms.
