Homebrew Girrafacani Species Details

Most Girrrafacani are simple farmers, and take deep pride in going to lands with difficulty in growing, droughts or recovering from disasters, and reseeding the land, and helping communities rebuild their livelihood through the land. At the head of all Girrafacani clans is always their most powerful druid, who guides the clan in their travels and agricultural pursuits. The council of elders in each clan typically consists of one head of each guild house and the high elder druid, and as a whole they govern their clan fairly and justly, to the best of their ability.

The fur of Giraffacani is typically a range of primary colors from yellowish-tan to dark reddish-brown, with oblong patches of darker or lighter colors, just like a giraffe. They have hooves and long legs to match their long arms, but their hands have formed thick nailed fingers. Their necks are extremely long, making them seem like larger creatures than they actually are, but also providing them with unique perspective of the world around them, often able to look over small buildings and walls with ease, or reach items others could not.
