Homebrew Elodict Species Details

"Yes, it is finally working!" A man stood in a laboratory with a seeming hybrid of a snake and fox, there was a glint in his eyes, "Finally, I will be unstoppable, no one will ever be able to defeat me now." The man pulled a lever and lighting flooded the room into the hybrid, dark magic flowed from him into the hybrid as well. "I command you to LIVE!" The man fell to his knees as he heard the sound of claws scraping stone. He never even had a chance to look up. The hybrids mouth opened, "Well doctor, you did a fine job, but you gave me more than just magic."

Elodict's are snake and foxlike creatures that appear to be highly intelligent and masterfully manipulative. They seem to have originated after a rather brilliant man wanted to create a cunning creature to assist him in any activity he chose. Until he decided to actually create one, which he accidentally gave it some of his own personality and brilliance. These creatures will do whatever they feel is in their best interest, usually resulting in them being any type of evil, as they also have an inclination to controlled chaos. Elodict's are graceful and are about 1'7, although they can stand on their hind legs and reach 3'7. Elodict's are usually dignified creatures unless presenting otherwise is necessary.
