Homebrew Axolotl Species Details

History

These axolotl humanoids didn't always exist. Some axolotls may have come into contact with magic, a different plane of existence, been blessed by a god, or maybe even just born through traditional means. They don't get much guidance for life and are forced to continue their lives on their own. They tended to live in forests near rivers or lakes since, when going into a town, they got many looks as it's not everyday they see an axolotl humanoid.

Physical Description

These axolotl humanoids are a variety of colors with their squishy exterior. The skin of an axolotl is highly permeable, allowing them to easily exchange oxygen even when underwater. However, they dry out easily and must take care to maintain their moisture levels. Their gills extend out of the sides of their heads and their rears have tails about half as long as they are tall. These help with their ambulation in water. Their hands and feet feature short digits that are webbed.

Attitudes and Beliefs

Axolotl humanoids rarely act cocky or brag. They believe others are equal to them, if not higher, and often do their best to make others feel the same way. They are therefore very wholesome. It is unknown if they were just made this way or meandering through life has gotten them to this amicable worldview. This is not to say they are sycophants, as axolotls will usually not treat a bad person as well as one they perceive being good.

While rare, these axolotl's can turn towards an evil way of life. This can be a result of how they've been treated by others, who gave them their current life, etc.

Axolotl Names

Since axolotls didn't have names before they became humanoid, they named themselves after things around them, occasionally taking the names of other humanoids. Sometimes even taking the sounds of being under water as a name.
