Homebrew Ferretkind Species Details

Hailing from the frigid, snow-capped mountains of Mochiyori, the Ferretkind are a small, quiet species of beast-folk. Born from the harsh winters and shaped by a culture of silent observation, they are naturally adapted to the freezing temperatures of their homeland. Physically, they resemble a hybrid of humanoid and winter ferret, possessing thick, insulating white fur, elongated ears, and an incredibly lithe skeletal structure.

Because of their lightweight frames and reliance on speed in combat, Ferretkind are very fast and acrobatic, easily slipping through a messy battlefield unnoticed. However, this unique body type comes with drawbacks; they quickly overheat in tropical climates, and their size and balance prevents them from properly using shields.

Often working as scouts, assassins, or dedicated bodyguards, Ferretkind let their actions speak louder than words, staying steady and professional no matter the danger.
