Homebrew Bovinians Species Details
Appearance
Bovinians are humanoid beings with strong bovine features: broad, muscular builds, thick hides covered in short fur (colors vary from black and white splotches to brown or tan), and prominent horns curving from their temples. Their faces are a blend of human and cow—expressive, but elongated and bovine in shape. They often wear practical, earth-toned clothing and revere nature and tradition.
Culture and Background
The Bovinians hail from rolling meadows and mountain pastures, living in close-knit herds where honor, hard work, and tradition guide daily life. Though they are a peaceful people, they fiercely defend their homes and companions with a stubbornness as immovable as a boulder. Some Bovinians feel the call to adventure, driven by visions, wanderlust, or the need to protect their kin.
Bovinians value storytelling, shared meals, and spiritual connection with the land. Druids, monks, and barbarians are common among them, though Bovinian clerics of nature or community deities are also well respected.
