Homebrew Gaaling Species Details

About: Gaalings depend on their sticky pads (on fingertips and toes) to help them defy gravity when climbing up and down rocks. The sticky pads are made up of a combination of soft, rubbery cells and mucus. They take home in swampy wetlands, where they live in burrows. Their skin is extremely sensitive to the sun and so, when traveling they wear layers of garments or cloaks. Though, traveling is rare for these creatures.

Appearance: Gaalings are small creatures concealed in cloaks or garments when outside of their natural domain, due to their sensitive skin. They are a pale color with speckles of black down their backs. They have round, protruding eyes which pop from their sockets and a long tongue which helps them catch fish in their swampy homelands. They have round bellies which typically protrude further than their eyes, and long limbs which come in handy when swimming.

Gaaling Traits

Gaalings are very sloppy, careless creatures with little room for sympathy. They love moist soil, ponds, fish and family.

Darkvision

Gaalings have a layer of tissue called tapetum lucidum which grants them the ability to see in the dark. Being a nocturnal race, this ability is key to their survival.
