Homebrew Xolotl's Axolotlites Species Details
The Axolotlites are a small, almost lost civilization of aquatic, salamander-like humanoids. Very few facts are known of this elusive race. From what is learned from those caught in venturing parties over the years is that the race has remained hidden for the simple fact of self-preservation. With the up and coming world of larger races using resources like large bodies of freshwater and dark forests where the Axolotlite reside, they have gone into hiding to make sure they don't become extinct. Apparently they have a very rich culture despite keeping mostly separate from all other forms of humanoids. Notes of their innate magical prowess and regenerative capabilities that rival what most clerics take years to master in the School of Divination is rare but known by those seeking knowledge of these beings.
