Homebrew Raccoonfolk Species Details

Raccoonfolk, often described as tiny pandas, are a very curious and reclusive race. Not much is known about their origins as they tend to bridge the gap between the fey and the exotic races.  Many have speculated just where Racoonfolk has come into being. However, the most prominent theory is that they are unique escaped house pets that evolved through the magic of the world.

Although their coloration tends to match that of the standard raccoon, there are rumors of Raccoonfolk with uniquely patterned coats. Regardless of the color of their fur coat, they are described as short as a halfling and twice as plump.  Despite the standard Racconfolk having a healthy, plump body, Racconfolk of a larger variety tend to have more bulbous and round bodies that allow them to roll instead of walk.
