Homebrew Mannequin Species Details
Mannequins are constructs, usually made out of either wood or metal. They are sometimes painted a solid color, but more expensive and well crafted ones may be allowed to show their true material. They have no real facial features. Some have a flat plane instead of a face, while others have a face carved into the head. Even when they appear to have facial features, none of them work, and they are incapable of facial expressions. Due to their lack of a mouth, they speak with a basic form of telepathy.
While most resemble humans in form and build, they can be constructed to resemble any medium-sized humanoid race, from elves to dragonborn. The race they resemble will reflect the industry they were made to be employed in and what race they mostly sold to. Some mannequins have multiple interchangeable head casings that they can wear to resemble different races.
