Homebrew Sasquatch Species Details

(Credit for most of this goes to User, Owen_m_m, just making a copy for me to use and tweaking some things.)

Inhabitants of the Beastlands, they were long considered to be nothing but myth and rumor. Planar travelers that spent time in the Beastlands attracted curiosity from them; they would observe from among the trees and foliage, remaining largely unnoticed. When the travelers eventually left they would examine whatever they left behind, building up hoards of objects they collected from the remains of campsites.

Wandering Nomads

Sasquatches are nomadic and gentle creatures. They travel the forests of the Beastlands either alone or in groups of two or three individuals. They will wander for the majority of their lifetimes, but they will happily travel with others of their kind if the opportunity presents itself.

After wandering for the majority of their lifetimes, a sasquatch will venture deep into the forests of the Beastlands, eventually arriving at the only permanent structure the sasquatches have ever built; the Forest Library. The sasquatch will record the knowledge they have gained on their travels in their own scroll, place the scroll deep within the library's vaults, and then spend the rest of their lives as a caretaker of the library.

Treasured Knowledge

Knowledge is treasured by sasquatch culture. Each sasquatch is born with perfect memories for routes, forest life, and so on. After a lifetime of wandering - roughly two hundred years on average - a sasquatch is a walking encyclopedia of forest knowledge.

If a sasquatch wishes to find knowledge beyond the Beastlands, their contribution to the Forest Library will be welcomed. Their reverence of knowledge can lead them to seek darker secrets, leading some to become warlocks. interestingly, sasquatches have never been known to evoke gods of knowledge. The reasons for this are still unknown, but sasquatches do seem to avoid all forms of religious worship.

Classes in Sasquatch Culture

Sasquatches have been known to pursue pacts with warlock patrons in exchange for knowledge, but their close connection to nature makes druids and rangers more common among their ranks. Their mostly gentle temperament could lead some to believe that barbarians are never seen among sasquatches. However, sasquatches have vast reserves of savagery and strength, traits which can lead to them becoming highly ferocious in combat. Fighters are often seen among sasquatches that are more simple in their wanderings. Sorcerers are as common among sasquatches as among most other races, but sasquatch wizards are quite rare due to their disconnection from formal magic usage.

Sasquatch Traits

Sasquatches are gentle, but their thick fur hides musculature that could put even some goliaths to shame. Their fur also helps to disguise them among the trees.
