Homebrew Corgyn Species Details
Small But Ever Curious
Corgyn are an energetic race of anthropomorphic canine-like beings. They're small creatures descending from the whimsical nature of faerie. They aren’t true fey but rather one of many kinds of animals uplifted by fey magic. Their ancestors are believed to have originated centuries ago in the hidden forest realms of the fey on the island of Valonde as faerie steeds. Through the ages they've evolved into what they are today.
While many venture from their forest homelands, most tend to stay within their realms. This is either out of a fearful need for protection or phobia of the outside world.
Those who wander away from their home realms do so to learn about the many worlds around them. To these lone strangers, the world is full of new sights, sounds, and even smells! For Corgyn, this new life is one full of excitement wherever they go.
At Home Anywhere
Despite their origins in the realms of Faerie, adventurous Corgyn are comfortable almost everywhere. Leaving behind their prejudice and fear, they adapt to new homes much like their non-sentient ancestors.
And just like their ancestors, they are quick to bond to other races that become friendly with them. While Corgyn aren’t always willing to obey and listen, they prove to be very faithful companions in the long run.
