Homebrew Bear-human Species Details

These people do not entirely understand that they are people. Raised by bears, they have no memories outside of the forest, and knowledge of the human world is limited to what they have learned watching the adventurers in their woods. Therefore, the extent of their social skills is largely based on how frequently humans can be observed from their forest. These creatures primarily follow bear social norms and customs and are typically rejected or looked down upon by polite society. However, these bear-people often harbor an innate curiosity and longing to explore the human world they unknowingly left behind.
