Homebrew Chickonian Species Details

Created by an Elf experimenting powerful magic on chickens, the Chickonians were created. This magic was discovered by the king, who chose to kill the elf who created this magic and went after the chickens involved. The Chickonians managed to escape, hiding among normal chicken flocks until the farmer either got suspicious, or went to kill them for food or lack of eggs.

After nearly a century of hiding among normal flocks, the Chickonians decided among themselves to become a nomadic civilization, changing locations every 10-20 years. These locations can be up to the DM's discretion regarding specific cities, planes, etc. 

Chickonians look like your typical chicken. They live around 1100 years, needing to rest around8 hours per day. They have the ability to lightly rest in 30 minutes to an hour periods. They can regain some energy if this is done throughout the day while doing this, helping the Chickonian regain an exhaustion point if the rest totals to 5 hours (on top of 8 hours of sleep). 

Chickonians are intelligent creatures who are masters at hiding among normal flocks. Any environment where a chicken can be found, they do not cause suspicion by the townsfolk if they do not act differently than a normal chicken.
