Homebrew Wombat Species Details

Burrowing deep into the ground, wombatfolk are small, night-loving creatures, who have little respect for property ownership and low levels of personal hygiene.

Wombatfolk are bipedal, with rodent-like front teeth and powerful claws. Their fur varies in color and they glow under ultraviolet light. Wombatfolk have keen senses and there is only one of them known, they are able to run at an unbelievably fast speed, and can dig and hide in tunnels, using their rumps to block attackers.

Wombats are about 2-4 feet tall, 45-80 pounds, and live for 20-30 years naturally.

Small animals are naturally drawn to them with trust, giving them advantage on charisma checks with animals.
