Homebrew Forest Faun Species Details
Cow ears and tails, horns and legs like a goat separate Fauns from humans; as well as their predisposition. These Fey-ancestry humanoids are light-hearted and prone to taking it easy. They range in height from the shortest at 3.5 feet to the tallest at just over 6, with most at about 5.5 and run the gamut of hair colors and styles. They are native to everywhere from steep mountain ranges to deep forests to wide-open plains and have adapted to their surroundings over long periods of time. They breed often and stay fertile most of their lives, having litters of 2-8 kids every decade or so. A Faun would be most contented working as a craftsman or researcher or farmer, though their innate nimbleness makes them fantastic hunters and fighters. Half-Faun children can be born with any, or none, of their faun parent's traits, but their aptitude for creativity generally shines through.
