Homebrew Alnazir Species Details

 

Untimely Creation

Alnazir are the creations of Beholders - tyrannical creatures that create just by thinking. Alnazir resemble humans, and could almost pass as one. One defining feature that sets an Alnazir apart from a Human is their hands. On the back of their hands are two more eyes, of the same coloration of the ones already on their face. Their skin tones cover the same range as a human's, but occasionally an Alnazir can have a faint tint of any color. Their hair, which grows out abnormally fast, is usually black, light or dark brown, blonde or gray.

Paranoid and Isolated

Alnazir usually live alone, whether it be in a small house at the edge of town, or traveling from place to place. Alnazir have a lesser intellect compared to Beholders, but they still share the same paranoia, which leads them to be suspicious of others, and keep to themselves. 

Alnazir don't have much of a home. They are not servants of a Beholder, and in most cases, they don't even know where their creator resides. They are usually adventurous, but mostly travel alone. Alnazir aren't very trusting, especially of each other, but with time someone who proves their friendship to one can be seen as a friend or ally.
