Homebrew Tressym Species Details
A Tressym resembled a small cat, roughly the size of a common housecat, and growing up to 2 feet (61 centimeters) long from nose to tail and weigh 20-30 pounds. Their primary feature was of course their wings: up to a 6-foot wingspan. Their nature is similar also to a housecat and generally they avoid fighting with anything larger than themselves, by flying away and hiding. If pursued by larger flying creatures, they will go to ground and seek a small hole or crevice to conceal themselves in. Nevertheless, they are cunning and quick learners, knowing enough to scratch a foe's eyes and have learned the danger of weapons and wands held by people.
Tressym Traits
Tressyms were once familiars but have gained freedom. They now thrive in small communities of about 50 members or smaller and are a very rare nomadic race. Within their small groups is a general community dynamic, where they all try to share resources and help one another. They are usually glimpsed soaring the skies, always looking for warmer climates like avians.Ability Score Increase
