Homebrew Demi-Human (wolfkin) Species Details

Demi-Human Race Details

            Magicians often decide to alter the anatomy of themselves or others to be more akin to certain animals. ‘Demi-Human’ is the name given to these people, or their ancestors who keep their traits. In appearance, they usually carry the ears, tail, claws, and/or teeth of their animal, and some even have fur or feathers which can cover certain parts of their body. They also have unnatural eye colors, and their pupils mimic their animal of basis. They are about the same size as humans, and their builds are like that of half-elves. Demi-Humans carry magical blood more potent than any other bloodline, even elves, and this grants them boosted affinity with nature. They reach adulthood at the age of twenty, but they mentally mature at the same rate as humans. Beyond adulthood, they do not appear to age from the outside, and retain the appearance of a twenty-year-old human until they die at around 150 to 200 years old. Members of these subraces are unable to procreate with any other races besides their own subspecies or humans.
