Homebrew Fenrirborn Species Details

Children of the World Wolf

The Fenrirborn are descendants of the legendary wolf Fenrir, carrying a fragment of his divine fury in their blood. Some are born to werewolf clans blessed (or cursed) by the gods, while others descend from ancient warriors who swore loyalty to Fenrir during Ragnarök. They are towering humanoids with lupine features, glowing eyes, sharp fangs, thick fur, and immense strength.
