Homebrew Fyoxinid Species Details

A race of people who look like humans, but have specific traits from foxes. Some traits are the orange and white fur, the fox snout on the face, heightened hearing and smell and stealth.

 

You are not born a Fyoxinid. You are transformed into one by a Fyo Carrier's bite. This bite then transforms you into a Fyoxinid for 2-4 hours depending on your race. You leave all your whole race behind to become this race. You are passed out during the process of transformation due to the pain that would have to be endured if kept awake throughout.

 

Many live in packs together but many also live and work alone due to their embarrassment or their race or another specific reason. It is rare for these people to show their faces in public and are a very uncommon race.
