Homebrew Batfolk (Desmodu) Species Details

Looming over most other races, desmodu are often seen as hulking and deeply intimidating.  Desmodu have long, powerful arms with membranes of leather-like skin connecting between their underarms and their bodies.  Somewhere between 8 to 9 feet tall and bristling with claws and fangs, a desmodu is an imposing sight for an unwitting surface-dweller to stumble upon in the depths of the Underdark.  Desmodu have fur that is red-brown, dusky grey, or black in coloration, and have piercing eyes that can be yellow, red, amber, acid green, or white.  A desmodu's fur is especially dense in large ruffs on the back of its neck, and in tuffs along the arms and legs.   The hands and feet of a desmodu end in sharp, bestial talons, which the desmodu use for grasping rocky surfaces far more than combat.   Many desmodu take part in ritual scarification and adorn themselves with scarred rune in their language when they complete an arduous undertaking or emerge victorious from a particularly dire violent encounter.  An unscarred desmodu is usually either a young and untested fighter, or a brutal prodigy who has not yet encountered anything they considered a challenge to their natural might.
