Homebrew Rougarou Species Details

Rougarou's are wolf-headed humanoids who can transform into wolves. While this sometimes confuses others into mistaking a Rougarou for a werewolf, these humanoids are not lycanthropes. In fact, most detest werewolves and hunt them mercilessly.

The race isn’t numerous or widespread, and Rougarou's tend to live in secluded communities. They are very protective of their families and friends, and the communities they form tend to be strict and lawful. In their homeland, Rougarou's are most plentiful in southern swamps and marshes, where it is believed they originated, but have since spread throughout the rest of the world.
