Homebrew Ferravex Species Details

Lore
The Ferravex are a synthetic-blooded race, born from a fusion of arcane science and forbidden alchemy. Once experimental soldiers, they are now wandering beings, feared and hunted by the societies that once created them.
Their bodies are living alloy, a combination of muscle, synthetic fibers, and magically reinforced bone. Their most horrifying trait: their arms can transform into deadly weapons-blades, claws, or jagged axes-at will.

Legends whisper that each Ferravex carries a fragment of their creator’s will, driving them toward endless combat and perfection. Some fight for survival, some for vengeance, and a rare few search for freedom from their engineered destiny.
