Homebrew Kaijuborn Species Details

There has been reason to believe that there exists a type of monster that rivals all other monsters. Stronger than Tiamat and more powerful than most celestials. These monsters are gigantic and the most fearsome I have ever laid eyes on. I know not where they came from nor for how long they've been here, but their influence is felt in some of the most magically inclined people on the planet. Further research is required, hopefully I can explain more. In time.                                                                                              -Unknown author.

 

 

As their name say, the kaijuborn walk proudly through a world that greets them with fearful incomprehension. Shaped by creatures know only as kaiju, giant monsters of immense power, kaijuborn were made from infusing kaiju energy into humans to make a unique race, combining the best attributes of kaiju and humanoids. Some kaijuborn are faithful servants to the kaiju that gave them their powers, others form the ranks of soldiers in great wars, and still others find themselves adrift, with no clear calling in life.

Proud Kaiju Kin

Kaijuborn looks vary depending on how much energy their kaiju gave them at the time of their creation. This came cause them to look like anything from almost normal humanlike to a miniature version of the kaiju in question. Regardless of appearance, the most defining feature of their kaiju will always be noticeable. This can range from dorsal plates, to wings to even large eruptions of hair. Most are strongly built and 6 feet tall, weighing 300 pounds or more.

Loners

Despite being created but whatever settlement or clan made them, kaijuborn tend to be on their own a lot. Kaijuborn are rarely, if ever, seen in a clan or group. This is mostly down to instinct as most of the kaiju that gave them their energy are solitary creatures. Along with that, some kaijuborn can be bitter enemies with others if their energies are of the enemy of their kaiju.

However, groups of them are not unheard of, especially in areas of the kaiju's territory. These tend to be full of only that specific kaiju but others can join if the other kaiju is a friend. But mostly, they aren't as common as one might think.

Though all kaijuborn strive to be self-sufficient,  they recognize that help is sometimes needed in difficult situations. So, on occasion they ask for the help of other races.
