Homebrew Duklin Species Details

 

Duklin hail from a faraway land. Said to be the children of angels, or a long dead god.

Flightless Wings

As their namesake suggests, Duklin look like large, young birds. They have fluffy, downy feathers that come in a variety of colors and patterns, but are usually on the paler side. Their wings are not large enough to support flight, but many Duklin dream of taking to the skies.

Travelers by any Means

Even without the ability to fly, Duklin are very skilled at finding ways to roam about. Restless by nature, they never settle in one place for very long, and are always on the look out for new adventures.

Youthful intuition 

Despite their young appearances, Duklin are rather intelligent beings. They are excellent at understanding others, even if they don't speak in the same tongue.

Duklin Names

Duklin don't have names in the same way that other races do. They communicate through body language and tone, so the only names they have are the ones others give them.
