Homebrew Tembellik Species Details

Naturally calm, tembellik are a medium-sized sloth-like race. They are resilient, wise, strong, and can outlast many in the goals they are looking to achieve. They are adept at climbing due to their clawed fingers and toes. The Tembellik race are not known for their erratic movement or their blistering speed, rather they live life at a much slower pace, taking the world in and concentrating on what matters rather than letting opportunity pass it by due to being on the move all the time like other races.

Natural Bearings

Tembellik would not be considered by many as "clean", however this is just due to the Tembellik's enjoyment of spending time around the life of the forest, including its insects and natural plant-life. This lifestyle has led to the fur of the Tembellik being infested with Algae and bugs at times. Tembellik are born and grow rather large claws from their hands, these are usually used for climbing or hanging from trees and they can also be used for deadly combat.

Not From Around Here

Tembellik are not native to Humblewood, instead coming from a distant land where another type of forest exists. The Tembellik that have found their way to Humblewood, often prefer to make their homes outside of cities and towns.
