Homebrew Skincloak Species Details

 

And Maliki said: "Begone from this world, hellish beast. You don't deserve to live, let alone mingle with the likes of society." And with those words, the Skincloak were dragged into different reaches of the universe, becoming almost completely extinct. However, one clinged to his plane, and from him, birthed the Skincloaks that hid within the shadows to this day.
