Homebrew Rajang Species Details

Rajang are a brash, brutish race almost akin to a solitary orc, they trace their roots back to untamed lands and even today Rajang can still be found in remote wilderness. Over millennia the Rajang species has gained a taste for any from of magically ungulate, this could be anything from a Kirin to a unicorn. A young Rajang most pass a rite of passage, said rite of passage is one of brutality, to hunt down a magically beast on your own. This style of rite has resulted in a lot of young Rajang being fell by their chosen target but this only leaves the strongest, meanest, and most adept to survive. they also have a short fuse and paired with their usual hot-headedness, its a common sight to see a argument with one turn into a full on brawl.

They are long of limb and covered in coarse hair, with wedge-shaped ears and pointed teeth, they have two spiraled horns on either side of their head, and an almost baboon light tail with a tuft at the end. they have a menacing build coupled with a spine tingling roar, and despite their size they are quite fast allowing them to get the drop on their opponent.
