Homebrew Domestic Canun Species Details

"No, Karen, I'm not a 'Good Boy.' I am an adult and you will treat me as such before I report you to Relations." - Ailde, before reporting Karen to Relations.

The Canun are humanoids with canine-like features. Most Canun are curious, joy-loving creatures who strive to bring happiness to others- though that is not always the case.

Physical Description

The Canun appear as dogs, wolves, coyotes, foxes, and other members of the canine species, while being bipedal. Some appear closer to human, while others retain their dog-like appearances. Most, on average, are shorter than humans, ranging from four to five feet tall, though select breeds can reach up to eight.

History

Over 300 years ago, the Feywilds leaked in strikingly large amounts. It was during this time that the Canun (along with other races) made their appearance, originating from the Feywilds as wild animals, who, upon reaching the material plane, took a more humanoid form- claiming to have no memory of their quadruped lives.

Since then, the Canun have integrated well into the societies of man, elves, and dwarves- working and playing among them as would any member of any species.

Society

Most Canun have integrated themselves into the society of others, or into small villages- they rarely live in a community of their own- although there is a well-known city of exclusively Canun residents. Not much is known about this city, due to the fact that only other Canun are allowed to enter.

The Canun typically have Sylvan names, in honor of the realm they came from. Others adopt names common in their community. A rare few, however, are named unfortunate pet names such as "Bingo" or "Wolf."
