Homebrew Furtivo/Furtiva Species Details

Furtivo are the long-forgotten race of the Underdark. Built to survive in the darkest and dankest of conditions, Furtivo are truly an evolutionary wonder. Colors range from dark blues and purples, all the way to a bright noxious green. Furtivo are naturally stealthy creatures capable of hiding in plain sight. Furtivo are also masters of movement when it comes to caves and other cramped spaces being able to walk up walls with ease. 

Furtivo age slower than humans, reaching adulthood around 30, living to ages rarely up to 400. They range in height but are slightly shorter than humans overall, with male Furtivo with an average of 5'6" and female Furtiva with an average of 5'0". Futivo prefer to live in small packs of families or in complete solitude. They are natural-born worshippers of Najm, the deity of adventure and curiosity, for the most part, but some tribes have been tipping over towards the evil side of the spectrum and worshipping Ghaunadaur, the god of aberrations. Most Furtivo are neutral but can very easily be on either side of the alignment.

Furtivo have always been ignored and prefer to keep it that way, they make deals with the other Underdark races to stick to themselves and remain peaceful. They aren't terribly fond of Duergar solely because of Duergar's inability to change to situations and stubbornness. Overall, Furtivo mostly keep to themselves and keep the peace among the monsters of the Underdark.
