Homebrew Dasypodid Species Details
These short, stout humanoids resemble bipedal armadillos, sporting a hardened carapace covering their backs and part of their heads. They are exceedingly rare, especially as adventurers, tending to keep to a more simple life in underground homes they burrow for themselves. They tend to live alone or in small family units, keeping to hotter, dryer regions. On occasion, however, the call to adventure may strike a Dasypodid and they will strike out in search of a more exciting existence, gracing the world with their unique presence.
