Homebrew Congal Species Details

A race made by the fools gold team, all I did was convert it to dnd beyond.

Congal

Cute, cuddly, and curious, the Congals are a primitive folk who like to keep to themselves in hidden encampments throughout Ambria's colder climates. Their simpler nature implies they have only been recently created, likely by an unnamed spirit that they collectively worship. Only recently have they started venturing out more to explore the warmer world beyond their frigid camps. While they fear the world beyond their borders, their curiosity pushes them to explore further, a d their strong bonds enable them to take down even large monsters looking for an easy quarry.

Mystical Creation

The exact details around the creation of the congals are shrouded in mystery. They worship a "creator spirit" who they claim gave birth to their species and protects them from evil. The spirit was never given a name, as it has never directly spoken to them. Rather, it communicates in omens, gifts and bestowed powers. Though they may have been magically created, the congels are self-reliant and reproduce naturally. They follow a hierarchy based on seniority, typically with a single elder in charge of their tribe. Congals value companionship above all else. To be alone is seen as a death sentence, and so their worst punishment among them is to be exiled. 

Curiosity kills

Congals aren't the fiercest fighters, and their tribes suffered many losses during their early years. By learning to cooperate better within their ranks, they were able to team up to take down larger creatures who threatened them. But sometimes, even two dozen cute fuzzballs meet their match. So, they turn to their spirit for guidance, who sometimes grants them the power to fight by turning them into a giant abominable yeti, a fierce creature with exceptional strength and the power to bite through bones.

Beyond the Ice

The first few tribes of congals have started venturing beyond the icy boundaries. While they are well adapted to the cold, they can exist well in other climates as well and have been spotted in temperate climates as well as deserts. They are not as well adapted to facing the dangerous monsters of the new areas, but by sticking together and occasionally praying to their spirit of extra power, they continue to carve a path for themselves in this world.

Congal Names

Congals prefer to use onomatopoeias as their names and usually forego surnames. They also don't clearly distinguish between genders. Congals who venture beyond their tribes, sometimes adapt the name of their tribe as a pseudo surname to clarify their origin.

Example names: Boop, Clank, Poof, Snap, Tink
