Homebrew Vulndirs Species Details

(Work in progress! Please bare with me, I am new to D&D but I wanted to make this race a thing!)

The features of a Vulndir are consistent throughout the race. Some may think of them as a half Dragon Dire Wolf..... unlike the two races, Vulndirs walk on two legs (bipedal). One of the Vulndirs traits are draconic ancestry, meaning that they inherit damage and resistance abilities based on their ancestors dragon type. They have a humanoid shape, scales and fur run in a pattern down their form; tails are dragon like with evenly shaped horns running down its length; arms and legs are anthropomorphic, claws for nails on their hands and feet, Vulndirs prefer to not wear shoes unless necessary (ex. protection from harmful bacteria or other damage from the ground); Vulndirs do not grow up with wings but there is a magical ability they can inherit that can grant them wings for a period of time.

Age

Vulndirs would age at the same speed as dragons, however, because of its dire wolf counterpart, their aging process is cut in half. A hatchling/ pup is from 0 - 2 years, teenage/ juvenile is from 3- 50 years, adult stage is from 51- 400 years. Many Vulndirs do not make it as far as 400 years though. 

Size

Vulndirs range from 6 feet to 8 feet and can weigh from 250 to 500lbs (adult age). Male and female Vulndirs are similar in size. 

Alignment

Vulndirs are in the neutral good alignment, they do not always feel the need to abide by the law but they do respect it. They do have standards that they live by, and one of those above all is to keep peace. 

Speed

Walking speed is 30 feet; Burrowing speed is 30 feet as well; If the race is allowed to fly (depending on the Dungeon Master) it has a speed of 30 feet as well; 

Language 

Vulndirs can speak both common and Draconic.
