Homebrew Raccoonfolk Species Details
Raccoonfolk
A curious but reclusive people, not much is known about the raccoonfolk. Although not fey beings themselves, their culture and known history is closely intertwined, with raccoonfolk often settling near places that bridge the gap between the Material Plane and the Feywild. Many have speculated just where the raccoonfolk have came into being. The two prominent theories being that they are an experiment by an Archfey, or simply a fey's pet that had evolved through the powerful magicks of the Feywild.
Raccoonfolk Appearance
Although rarely seen, there have been some accounts of what they look like. Often described as short as a halfling and twice as plump, it seems most raccoonfolk are around 3ft tall. Not many have been seen but it appears that their fur is similar in color as the raccoons of the Material Plane, though there are rumors of spotting raccoonfolk with brown, white, red, and golden fur, with any number of patterning.
Raccoonfolk Names
Because of their reclusive nature not much is known about the raccoonfolk's true names, which are believed by many to be their Feywild name and Sylvan in nature. However, from the brief encounters with them, it seems they tend to adopt the names of the people around them, often taking on an elvish or gnomish sounding name.
