Homebrew Kirby Species Details

"Poyo"

- Kirby

 

Saving his planet, galaxy or even the universe itself from horrifying threats and eldritch gods, Kirby is a formidable force for good. Keeping his friends safe from cosmic horrors, playing games with companions, and enjoying unfathomably large meals are staples in Kirby's life. When not aiding in the protection of existence itself, Kirby often spends his time sleeping, chasing butterflies, and generally just enjoying life. But when crisis occurs, and the fate of all hangs in the balance, The Pink Demon steps up to defend his home.

Small and Squishy

Kirby is a small creature, though despite his size he often tackles threats far larger than he. Standing at about 3 feet tall, and completely harmless by appearance, though has survived many a battle with eldritch horrors. Kirby is incredibly light, weighing around 20 pounds. He has very short arms, with no fingers, resulting in two nubs that he uses has hands. Despite this lack of fingers, he is able to hold onto items with no issue. Kirby is also very soft, making most attacks fairly damaging to him, though he is able to take quite a lot of punishment despite this.

Due to his squishy nature and seemingly having almost no bones, Kirby is able to fit into rather small spaces much like an octopus.

Kirby's skin is a vibrant pink, with darker pink cheeks, blue shining eyes and a distinct lack of hair. Kirby always wears a pair of red, lace-less shoes.

Kind and Innocent

Kirby is an incredibly kind and caring individual, always looking to make new friends wherever he can, holding friendship as a treasure more valuable than any gold or jewel. Often on adventures, Kirby comes across individuals who he is able to befriend and have them join him on his journey.

Kirby is quick to assist those in need, happily assisting them with the only thing he seeks in return being to see them smile.

Obvious but Easily Befriended

Due to his abnormal appearance and incredibly visible colour, Kirby is not easily able to blend in or remain hidden, being incredibly obvious to make out, though his small size can somewhat make up for this.

Kirby will often be seen as strange and unknown to most, though his positive attitude will often win people over, and his boundless kindness makes it easy for him to be welcomed by all but the most cold-hearted of individuals.

Kirby is willing to help any in need, especially those he considers friends. Should his friends be threatened in any way, Kirby will do whatever it takes to prevent any harm from coming to them.

 

Humble

Kirby lives alone in a small, comfortable cottage, far from any other civilisations, an so isn't very partial to lavish living. But he is not averse to higher class environments, being frenemies with a king where he's from, he's quite used to visiting palaces, though doesn't understand the need for total respect when it comes to addressing royalty.

Despite living alone, Kirby is easy to get along with, with only the most hateful and cold-hearted individuals being immune to his charm. In terms of work, Kirby has no profession other than universal protector, and so spends most of his time napping or eating when no crisis is occurring.

Epitome of Friendship

Kirby is able to get along with almost anybody, save beings of pure evil, but even then he is often able to turn them to the side of good. Most who get along well with Kirby will often begin thinking of him as a friend who they can look to for help in any situation.

Defend the Universe

Kirby sets out on adventure when the fate of existence itself hangs in the balance, fighting against those who would wish to bring despair and doom to all. Kirby strides through his world and many others to defend those in need.

Gobble/Inhale

As an action, if you choose to Gobble, you can attempt to draw a creature or object into your gullet and engulf them or it using your seemingly bottomless stomach. Choose a Medium or smaller creature or object within 5 feet. That creature must make a Strength + Constitution saving throw. The DC is equal to 8 + your Strength modifier + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency modifier. On a failed save, you may swallow it whole. Your gobbling gullet can only contain one creature at a time. A swallowed creature is restrained and blinded, and may repeat its save at the end of each of its turns. On a success, the creature exits prone within 5 feet of you.
As an action, if you choose to Inhale, you can choose up to 12 creatures or objects that are the same size class as you or smaller within a 15 feet cone. Those creatures in front of you must make Strength saving throws. The DC is equal to 8 + your Strength modifier + your proficiency modifier. On a failed save, the creatures in question are pulled 15 feet towards you, and you may swallow them whole. On a success, the creature exits frightened within 5 feet of you. Objects are usually eaten automatically. You may use this trait a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier before you must complete a short or long rest to use it to full capacity again.
At 1st level, you gain a sub-trait: Star Spit. At 5th level, you gain an additional subtrait: Swallow. At 20th level, you gain an additional subtrait: Mouthful Mode.

Star Spit. While you have a creature or object within your gullet you can attempt to fire it out of your mouth as an action. When fired, you deal 3d10 + Constitution force damage to all creatures and objects that were in your mouth, which increases by 1d4 for every 2 objects and/or creatures added after the first. Anything hit with this projectile takes the same damage as the victims in the gullet. If you are using this projectile with one victim in your gullet, it hits the opponent and bursts on contact. If you are using this projectile with 2 or more victims in your gullet, it can pierce through multiple targets and only bursts on contact when hitting non-destructible surfaces, like sturdy walls. At 10th level, you gain an improvement: When fired, you deal 6d10 + Constitution force damage to all creatures and objects that were in your mouth, which increases by 1d4 for every object and/or creature added after the first.

Swallow. While you have a creature(s) within your gullet you can attempt to copy one of its abilities as an action, expelling the creature when you do so as per your Inhale trait. When  using Swallow, roll a D6 to reveal what benefits you gain from the following:

  1. You learn one of the cantrips it knows. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for it.
  2. You gain one of the natural weapon attacks it has, except all damage dice for the new attack are changed to d4s and the attack always uses your Strength score.
  3. You gain proficiency in one of the weapons it is proficient in.
  4. You gain its racial ability score increases.
  5. You gain all the racial traits and abilities, however they are halved in strength
  6. You gain their class traits, abilities, proficiencies, and their spell slots and spells if they are a magic user, (downgraded if you are a lower level and equal to their level if you are a higher or equal level).

You regain use of this trait once you complete a short or long rest, at the cost of losing the gained ability. You can choose to keep the "Copy Ability" if you do not want to regain the use of Swallow.

Mouthful Mode. While you have an object that is one size larger or more than you within your gullet you can utilize the object's size, shape, and/or function to manipulate to your own desire; 2D shapes can interact with the properties of your elastic body, 3D Shapes can grant you weight and properties relating to their shape, containers can spit out their contents, and vehicles can be driven. However, you cannot fly while an object is in your mouth, as per usual.

Lighter than Air. You are oddly buoyant. As an action, you can use your Inhale trait; you holding your breath caused you to swell and become buoyant, causing you to fall slower or float on top of liquids heavier than air. To use this trait, your gullet must be empty, and you cannot be wearing heavy armor and you must use your action each round to maintain this effect. At 10th level, you gain a sub-trait: Airborne.

Airborne. Rather than a form of wings, you inhale air into your hollow body, and float around like a balloon, and your Constitution score increases by an additional 1.

At the 17th level, you gain the ability to wear heavy armor while flying.

Language

Kirby doesn't know many words other than the greeting "Hai", the word "Poyo" which he says commonly, and his name "Kirby". He is able to pick up on words in certain languages, with "Common" being the easiest to pick up on, however he does not know the meaning of these words and so has difficulty communicating verbally.

You have a situational disadvantage in scenarios requiring verbal response.

Squishy Body

Kirby is incredibly soft and squishy, and so is easily able to fit into tight spaces.

You can fit into spaces that would normally require you to be tiny.
