Homebrew Bomok Species Details
These canine humanoids create close, familial bonds with those who prove themselves worthy of loyalty.

Any bomok who forsakes a bond is cast out by others of their kind and considered a traitor to the very race. Blessed with sturdy builds and finely honed senses, these canines are well suited to becoming guards, sentries, or any number of other protective professions.
