Homebrew The Manyhorn Species Details
The Manyhorn is a name given to the array of ceratopsian humanoids (evolved from Styracosaurus albertensis, Diabloceratops eatoni, Sinoceratops zhuchengensis, Protoceratops andrewsi etc.) that have formed a cohesive society of multiple guilds. They vary greatly in size and horn shape/number, but otherwise look quite similar. They are bulky dull-coloured scaly-skinned humanoids with short, stout limbs, large, bony head crests, a beaked mouth, and horns. A handful of Manyhorn (i.e. those evolved from Protoceratops) do not actually possess horns, but are still considered Manyhorn nonetheless. Most Manyhorn are generally dull greens, reds, and browns in colour, but brighter variants exist. Manyhorn prefer to dress formally, with well-fitted suits and multi-layered robes or tabards. They invariably display their guild sigil prominently on their clothing, but sometimes also have it painted or tattooed onto their crest. When armoured, their armour usually is accompanied by tabards displaying their guild’s colours.
