Homebrew Carnophage Species Details
Carnophages are an all-female race that are almost identical to normal humans, baring a few key aesthetical differences. The first being their pale complexion that can range anywhere between fair skinned to sickly in color. The second notable difference is their hair, varying in shades along the monochromatic scale from one individual to the next. The final difference is their dull, pupil lacking eyes that range in colors from red, blue, purple or even pink in rare instances.
When provoked, excited or feeling threatened, a carnophage’s eyes may change with the sclera darkening to a solid black and the iris illuminating eerily.
Carnophages possess rows of retractable, piranha-like fangs that can emerge from their gums and protrude beyond their humanoid teeth. Typically, these fangs remain hidden until needed, so as to allow carnophages the ability to blend in with human society. Despite this, one may still be able to identify a carnophage by the sickeningly sweet scent of their saliva, provided one finds themselves close enough to do so.

Age
Carnophages don’t physically age beyond a juvenile state, remaining young and childlike in appearance for their entire lives. They live for approximately a century or so. A carnophage may be brought back into existence sometime after their death, appearing in the general vicinity of where they had perished in their last life. In some cases they may possess foggy memories from their past lives, causing them some confusion. How this occurs is up for speculation, though it is believed to be the work of whatever god or demon may have created them in the first place.
Alignment
Carnophages are typically neutral, putting their survival before all else. Though variations can occur as they are often deeply influenced by the views of their peers and their surrounds.
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.
Scavenger
Whenever you make a Wisdom (Survival) check while in an urban environment, you are considered proficient in the Survival skill and add double your proficiency bonus to the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.
Ravenous
Your fangs are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
Numbing Dose
When you hit a creature with your fangs, you can use a bonus action to inject the target with poison. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. The DC is 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. On a failed save, the target's speed is reduced to 0 for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a successful save.
