Homebrew S’spicata Species Details

They are primal creatures that live in squalor, S’spicatas hide from society, as they are hated, just like goblins. Despite their semi-hardy build, they are impressively agile. They are capable of spitting poison quite far, and their spikes are used as both attacking and defense mechanisms. S’spicatas originate from jungles, but many live in cities, hiding in the shadows, others live in nature. They are very good at making makeshift weapons, out of almost anything they find. Their bright blue tongues glow in the dark, almost like a torch. A big disadvantage with S’spicatas is their charisma and intelligence, which are quite lacking for them. Their attacks are quick, and vicious. The venom spit, claws, and large back spikes can make kebabs of a man.
