Homebrew Muppetborn 5E Species Details
Fabric? Is that all I am to you? My blood may be colorful and glittery, but I bleed nonetheless. My people have long struggled to be taken seriously, it is why so many of us turn to our faith, our creator: The Hand. It is a force within all of us that guides our actions and speaks throughout all Muppetborn. The war of my people is far from over, and it will be the bloodiest war yet, Waka Waka

Fuzzy and Warm
A proud and silly race. Muppetborn are chaotic creatures known for innate magical abilities. Born appearing as small balls of cloth, they quickly develop into creatures that resemble humans, animals, and even monsters... but that doesn't make them evil. Easily spotted by their colorful furs, most Muppetborn who live outside their clans "Streets" frequently find themselves uninvited from "proper" civilization due to their odd habits. But really, is it a party without a Muppetborn swinging from the chandelier?
