Homebrew Corgyn Species Details

Loyal and Determined

The Corgyn typically live in small nomadic groups, with tightly knitted interpersonal bonds. The Corgyn are driven by a strong sense of honor and loyalty to their kind and those who they deem as companions, and their unfaltering sense of duty means that having a Corgyn as an ally is a sure sign you will never face a foe alone.

Corgyn Societies are typically patriarchal, being led by the wisest of the group, as opposed to the most physically fit as would be seen in other canine species. Their colour varies from the standard fawn colour to the less common “Cardigan” pattern.

Small but ever curious

Corgyn are an energetic race of canine-like beings. Typically, they reflect smaller dog breeds, as they better fit the whimsical nature of faerie. Oddly enough, their name is a misnomer. While they live in the realms of faerie, they aren’t true fae, but rather one of many kinds of animals uplifted by fae magic.

Few Corgyn are the adventurous sort, save for the rare few, as most tend to stay within their realms. This is either out of a fearful need for protection or phobia of the outside world.

Those who wander away from their home realms do so to learn about the many worlds around them. To these lone strangers, the world is full of new sights, sounds, and even smells! For Corgyn, this new life is one full of excitement wherever they go.

Unsettling Origins

Corgyn were created by the Fae to be used as slaves and essentially toys by the whimsical creatures. This dark and troubling past affects all Corgyns, whom keep it as a dark secret, rarely discussing it amongst themselves. Their origins are rarely known by the members of other races, and bringing uup the subject with a Corgyn would grecieve an uncharacteristic frown and a brick wall of silence.

Corgyn Traits

Your Corgyn character has a number of traits suited to their Canine-Fey heritage.

Darkvision

Due to the natural occurrence of the Tapetum Lucidum, Corgyn have their ability to see in the dark enhanced. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Corgyn Determination

While you are below half your maximum hit points (Rounded down) you may choose to gain advantage on your attack rolls for a short period. This affects a number of attack rolls equal to 1+[CON Modifier (Minimum 1)]. If you make no attacks within a turn this effect ends. This feat recharges after a long rest.

Corgyn Combat Training

You have proficiency with any weapon with the “light” property.

Canine Senses

Corgyn have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks involving their sense of smell and can identify individuals or races they have smelled before by scent alone.
