Homebrew Bunyip Species Details
The shy and quiet Bunyip are a rare species related to Lamias. They typically live near or in bodies of water, as they can move easily and silently through water. Their bodies are covered in soft, magical fur that seems to never get soggy or wet at all. Despite being carnivorous and monster-like, these creatures are extremely timid and cowardly, usually avoiding any creatures that are bigger than them, instead only attacking smaller wild animals by coiling their strong tails around them.
The Cautious Serpentine
Bunyip have most of their body covered in fluffy fur, along their tail, arms and even forming what seem to be two fluffy fox-like ears on their head. They can grow to be up to 13,1 feet long from head to tail tip, though in a normal position they are only up to 6,5 feet tall. Despite being quite strong, Bunyip are very cautious at all times, trying to avoid most people unless sure they are not a threat to their health.
