Feytouched Pug

HOMEBREW SPECIES · 2024 RULES

Feytouched Pugs are ordinary dogs touched by the strange and wonderful magic of the Feywild. Unlike other creatures of the Feywild, they weren't born with magical abilities or extraordinary intelligence. Instead, the Feywild itself chose to bless them, granting them the ability to walk upright, speak, and understand the world around them.

Despite their newfound intelligence, Feytouched Pugs retain many of the characteristics of ordinary dogs. They are affectionate, loyal, curious, and often easily distracted by interesting smells or the promise of food. Their small stature rarely diminishes their courage, and many are fiercely protective of those they consider family.

Feytouched Pugs come in a variety of colors, though fawn-colored pugs with dark muzzles are particularly common. They typically retain the appearance and instincts of ordinary pugs, including their curled tails, floppy ears, wrinkled faces, and distinctive snorting.

Many Feytouched Pugs develop an especially strong attachment to their companions, often viewing their adventuring companions as members of their pack. Some even take up the call of adventuring, becoming warriors, spellcasters, or holy knights in the service of those they love.

Though their origins are magical, Feytouched Pugs are still very much dogs at heart.
