Homebrew Faun Species Details

Formed in Nature

Fauns are small-framed, bipedal creatures who live in undisturbed, primeval wilderness away from the corridors linking civilizations. Their torsos are humanoid, but their bodies from the waist down resemble the hindquarters and back legs of ungulate beasts, ending in cloven hooves upon which they walk upright. Their heads and faces are mostly humanoid, but usually have some of the features of the animal they take after as well. Their eyes, ears, and nose are the features most likely to be bestial, with short velvety fur growing around their animal features and fading in to their humanoid features. At the very least, nearly every faun has horns or antlers growing out from his or her head.

Eager to Please

When interacting with other intelligent races – especially non-fauns -- fauns tend to choose the words and mannerisms which will cast themselves in the most positive light. If they cannot get a good read on someone socially, they feel the impulse to become shy and reserved, coming out of their shell only when they are confident they can make a good impression.
