Homebrew Crooked Species Details

A Little Bit Off

The Crooked are strange and elusive creatures that roam the densest of woods, the deepest of caves, the tallest of mountains. While they are have unique personalities, they all hold a skewed perspective that no other creature can relate to; not even another of their own kind. Every Crooked has a unique philosophy, a philosophy that no other creature can understand or change. This distance from reality prevents any Crooked from completely empathizing with other creatures.

Unreliable Narrator

The Crooked can never relay information or tell a story exactly how it was, they will always get something wrong without knowing or understanding. Their truths are seemingly different from any other truth, as if they live in a different reality.
