Homebrew Satori Species Details

Satori are for the most part human in appearance, though their most easily definable trait, and the most obvious physical difference that sets them apart from humans, is the presence of a disembodied eye that is covered with a thick skin, and is attached to their body with several long, thick, leathery-looking cords of the same kind of skin; this strange, thick skin, though referred to as skin, is actually very rarely, if ever, of a color one would identify with skin, instead sporting colors that would be more readily attributed to scales. This eye is known as their third eye and is apparently what allows them to read minds. A satori's third eye never blinks, and usually follows the gaze of the satori's other two eyes, though it may rarely be observed looking around seemingly of its own accord. Satori tend to be short compared to humans, and their hair and eye colors vary wildly.
