Homebrew Duckfolk Species Details

Short Description

---

Duckfolk are humanoid, feathery creatures with webbed feet and duck bills. The feathers keep them warm in frigid waters. Although they may posses an all terrain ability, they aren't necessarily fast (They waddle on land which makes them a bit slower). They are usually contracted as a messenger for people They are usually a delivery person for their all terrain abilities. Still being intact with their instincts, they do fear tabaxis (not as much as small cats but a bit of fear still resides)

 Attitudes
