Homebrew Fey Mouse Species Details

Scurrying across the wilds, Fey Mice from the Feywild embody the spirit of family, freedom, and togetherness. Fey Mice are blessed with a little fey luck, and they often find themselves a few fortunate feet away from dangers during adventures.

Fey Mice are very small bipedal humanoids with the characteristic long feet of the animal they resemble. The absolute tallest of their race being just about 4 feet tall, and the heaviest about 80 or 90 pounds. They have sleek fur, which can be white, black, grey, or, rarely, green. Their eyes can be brown, red, white, or black. They have a long tail, at least half of the height of their body, and small claws, with large teeth. They are deft of foot and are sometimes drawn to a criminal lifestyle. Though, they are no more violent or larcenous than others, but old stereotypes linger, especially with them. Though known as holding fey magic, many fail to understand the tough lives Fey Mice, often the smallest of them being mistaken for a common household mouse, which can lead to the death of many. Their lives are lead not entirely of their making. 

The Fey Mice are canny survivors, rogues and tricksters. Their strong family ties make it easy for them to found or join criminal societies–though others serve as expert scouts and saboteurs, able to infiltrate army camps, city sewers, and even castle dungeons with equal ease.
