Homebrew Ebukhali Species Details

The Ebukhali are striking beings, their ebony skin a dark canvas marked with the intricate patterns of their porcupine-like spikes. Long, graceful elephant ears frame their heads, while their eyes glint with the unsettling gaze of serpents.

Their appearance is both awe-inspiring and fearsome, a physical testament to their ancient and enigmatic origins.
