Canid Traits
Candis are dog-human hybrids that live throughout much of Omeria. Created through magical means a couple centuries past, the original canids were developed to guard temples, keeps, and other places of import. However, the canids were smarter and wiser than their creators expected and declared that there was more to their indentured existence.Keen Senses
