Homebrew HomuncWalrus Species Details
What a strange creature to be seen so far from the water. A Giant Walrus, and even more peculiar is that it's wearing armour. It's tusks look to be sharpened like blades, though in a crude fashion, like the beast intentionally scraped it's large teeth across some rocks in an effort to make them more deadly.
I pondered this for just a moment then dismissed the thought as pure foolishness. For what walrus, regardless of it's physical stature could know that by rubbing it's tusks on the ocean rocks it could make them sharper? Ridiculous. No animal could possibly come to know that. I returned to work, making chainmail for the town guard when I heard someone speak. When I looked back up, no one was there, the only other living thing was the walrus. But that couldn't possibly be....

This oddity of nature is nothing short of amazing. With it's monstrous size and devastating tusks, this beast of burden is not to be taken lightly. A force to be reckoned with for even the strongest of warriors. Thankfully he's kind-hearted, otherwise things might not go so well for small villages.
I stood there a moment in disbelief until the walrus spoke again. It was at this time that I screamed and jumped back, grabbing the nearest thing to me that I could use as a weapon to fend off this monstrous beast, this happening to be a hot piece of metal from the forge. "NO! PLEASE! I have a wife to look after, and a child on the way! I beg of you, don't kill me!" I prepared myself for the inevitable when it spoke again.
"Sir, I mean you no harm, I actually came to you for business. Would you be able to better sharpen my tusks? I tried to do it myself but haven't the tools or hands to do so. I have the coin to pay you for your trouble." I was baffled by the gentleness in the voice of such a large beast and, still shaken by my surprise, I didn't move or respond for some time. When I did respond I decided to help the kind beast, even just for a chance to study him a bit. "The coin is in the pouch behind my left flipper. There is 20 gold there. Will that be enough?" I thought a moment and decided it would be fair considering it was only sharpening and it wouldn't take me long before I can get back to my work for the guards. So I sharpened his tusks while we talked for a bit. I learned his past and how he came to be the was he is now. When I was done, he thanked me and left me to my work. I began to think more about how fortunate I was to have met him.

Posted Apr 4, 2022I would totally play this race, but with the addition of a tusk natural weapon and maybe a natural AC. Perhaps even resistance to Cold damage and a change to the stats . . .
