Homebrew Dinauran Species Details

Living in the far-off nation of Primo Dinaura, the Dinaurans are many different races of dinosaur-like humanoids. Their kingdoms are often shown to be massive elemental havens, from the Northern frost kingdom of Xuehua to the infernal desert kingdom of Erimos. Each Dinaruan resembles a different dinosaur, with each dinosaur giving each Dinauraun unique abilities, appearances, and attacks. The Dinarauns are also well versed in the numerous elements across the realms, and over the course of their lives, a Dinauran can learn to harness the power of these elements.
