Homebrew Gillykin Species Details
Gillykin are amphibious Humanoids whose bodies retain the soft aquatic traits of early life even as they mature. Their external gills, wide dark eyes, and regenerative flesh mark them as creatures of water and renewal. To an Gillykin, change is not always something to fear. A wound closes. A limb returns. A scar fades into new skin. Many Gillykin view the body as a living record, revised by hardship and restored by time.
