Homebrew Beorning Species Details
The Beornings are a fierce and secretive people of the North, descended from the legendary Beorn, who could take the form of a great bear. Living between the Misty Mountains and Mirkwood, they are guardians of the wild lands, known for their immense strength, resilience, and distrust of outsiders. In battle, they become living storms of claw and fury—yet among their kin, they are protectors, hunters, and keepers of ancient traditions tied to the natural world.
Fierce skin-changers of the North, the Beornings are powerful wilderness guardians descended from Beorn himself.Ability Score Increase
