Homebrew dogkin Species Details

Loyal and tenacious, the Dog Kin are natural allies and fearless hunters.

The Dog Kin are a race of canine-like humanoids, known for their unwavering loyalty, strong sense of community, and keen instincts. They walk upright, with short to shaggy fur in earthy tones, long muzzles, and expressive ears and tails that make their emotions easy to read. Some resemble sleek hounds, others more rugged wolves or stocky mastiffs.

Dog Kin live in tightly bonded clans or “packs,” placing great value on trust, shared labor, and spoken oaths. They are often found serving as scouts, messengers, temple guardians, or skilled hunters. While they integrate well into cities and guilds, many still prefer the open wilds, where their senses and stamina shine brightest.

Dog Kin tend to revere gods of nature, family, and protection, but above all, they believe in loyalty—to kin, to cause, and to self.
