Homebrew Dreghesh Species Details

description. The Dreghesh stand 7-9 feet tall, weigh as much as a centaur, and are as long as a yuan-ti. Their skin ranges from a sleek green to purple. They have the face of a mindflayer, the body of a yuant-ti, and two pairs of arms and eyes. 

Age. Dreg life spans usually are between 300 to 1800 years, but some have been known to live far longer. They have gone past the parasitic nature of their mind flayer ancestors and now are able to produce their own young through sexual reproduction, which reach maturity at 15 years old.

Alignment. Dregs are stoic beings and only show emotion in the heat of battle or when letting out their wrath upon mind flayers. They are usually prone to any form of neutral alignment.

Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

languages. You can speak, read, and write Common, Deep speech, and a telepathy of 10ft.

An Illithid mistake. Dregs were a mistake created by the mind flayers. They were made from the mixing of yuan-ti, Illithid, and other forgotten monsters souls and bodies through magic, which resulted in the strong built Dreghesh. Unfortunately for the mind flayers they lacked the tendencies, like the taste for brains, and evil nature of the mind flayers. The resulting massacre is referred as the day of raining blood and the day that the dregs gained independence. They now sit in forgotten reaches of the world, watching for any mind flayer outbreaks and routing out these infections.

Watchers of the void. The Dreghesh live in hidden colonies within the hundreds. They train from birth in the ways of battle and Illithid hunting. They have a steady alliance with the githzerai as they both have a deep hatred of the mind flayers. It is not unheard of for Dregs to live amongst other races, but this is usually in secret.

Odd body

Armor costs double the normal amount as it must be tailor made. Additionally the dreg has disadvantage on persuasion checks against any other creature that is not a aberration. The dreg can also not ride a mount that is under the huge size category due to their large bodies.
