Homebrew Wulfkin Species Details
Wulfkin Summary:
Wulfkin are the canine peoples, who maintain the physical traits of dogs, and resemble these dogs, much akin to a Tabaxi and cats. They are mainly driven by instincts more often than not, and are not concerned with personal alignment. They tend to have a sense of wanderlust, that can only be quelled by finding a person or ideology to follow religiously.
Lore and Legends:
Few wulfkin have long lasting settlements, and instead travel in small packs and family units. Therefore, they hardly have any records of their earliest settlements. They typically slide into any city or town that will accept them, and may even make themselves at home over time, their offspring settling down and taking up more mundane tasks, such as hunting and building.
