Homebrew Taluman Urchin Species Details

Urchins are the smallest of the ‘civilized’ people of Taluma in size and numbers. They are thought of by others as nervous and fidgety people who unnerve them with their extremes of communication: they can go from ‘quiet as a mouse’ to as chatty as a bird or squirrel.

Their appearance and demeanor further remind others of rodents and birds: though they can be solitary, they are gregarious people who act in groups that are given various derogatory names depending on the community they are in.
