Homebrew Snow Leopard Faunus Species Details
Snow Leopard Faunus are half-humanoid snow leopard hybrids, with their body resembling that of a human, but with certain Snow Leopard characteristics. How many of those characteristics depends upon how pure-bred the Faunus is. Snow Leopard Faunus stand roughly 6 feet tall on average. The more pure-bred amongst them can have far more fur, fangs, or more obvious characteristics can be more prominent and luxurious. They also tend to have more of the characteristics of the Snow Leopard than those who are not pure-bred. If the Faunus is from one Faunus parent and another of another race, their form will look more like their non-Faunus parent, for example if they are from a human parent they will look like a pure-bred with less Snow Leopard features, but if they are half-orc they will incorporate som orcish physical features such as appropriate height and skin tone.
