Homebrew Felid (Catfolk) Species Details

Varied & Diverse - The appearance of these felines can vary even greater than humans. Their markings are innumerable ranging from spots and stripes to typical house cat patterns such as tabby or calico. Felids from wild origins, such as tigers or lions are most common.

Tribal Culture runs deep in Felid traditions. They can be found in small packs all over the world, especially in harsh climates, ranging from deep in the rain forests, to freezing Tundras, and scorching Savanna. Felids tend to keep to themselves, living off the land, rarely entering the cities of men. If they do integrate themselves with other races there is no telling where you'll find them, since their personalities are so diverse. Felids are often accepted by most other races.

Wild at heart, Felids are comfortable switching from bipedal motion to quadrupedal and can do so with ease. They have retractable claws on their hands and feet and have the bone structure of cats. Like Elves, they are attuned to nature, respect it, and defend it against those who would do it harm.

Names - Felids usually prefer names beginning with T, M, R, U, O or A. Male names will generally end in harder letter sounds, while female will use softer sounds. However, it is common for a name to be used for both sexes. Male - Kova, Trok, Ovarr, Rorran, Mur  Female - Suu, Korra, Mrran, Rorran

Age - Felids age faster than humans and are considered adults by the age of 10. They can live up to 75 years old.

Size - Felids vary wildly extremely in height and build. They can be as small as 4 feet and as tall as 8 feet. Their weight can vary between 75 and 300 (or more) pounds.

**This race is based on the 5e race originally created by TinyTaters on r/DnD.**
