Homebrew Brides of Yog-Sothoth Species Details
After the events of the season of horror that transpired in the farming Village of Dunwich, the townsfolk - rather than exonerating themselves of the Whateley's penchant for the Necronomicon, swore themselves over to the worship of Yog-Sothoth, breeding a race of all female goat-human hybrids and a new Dunwich Horror. Due to the phenomenon known as "cerebral voiding", in which the human brain refuses to comprehend the most horrific of Abominations, the Brides of Yog-Sothoth appear as black Silhouettes to anyone that looks at them, this means that they can be easily conversed with without fear of insanity. Well, without much fear.
The majority of the Brides of Yog-Sothoth are between 6 to 8 ft. tall, and are extremely strong however, there is a rare exception of being being around 4 ft. tall and being extremely intelligent, at least in comparison to the rest of the Brides of Yog-Sothoth. One thing that all Brides of Yog-Sothoth have in common is that they have luminous orange eyes and sharp teeth that also glow orange, these are the only clearly defined traits that Brides of Yog-Sothoth have along with what appears to be a pair of horns, hooves and a tail. However it is unknown whether or not they actually are horns, hooves and tail due to the cerebral voiding.

Anti-voiding
The Brides of Yog-Sothoth have the capability to strip the cerebral voiding from others mind, allowing them to see their true form, at least in part.
At first level you gain the ability to reveal a segment of your true form to one person that has line of sight to you. They must then make a wisdom saving throw to ignore what their brain is now showing them. If they succeed, due to the stress of ignoring their brain they gain disadvantage on their next wisdom saving throw; if they fail the wisdom saving throw, they take 2d6 psychic damage and due to the horror of what they have seen, they gained disadvantage on their next wisdom saving throw.
As a fifth level, for every consecutive time that they fail the wisdom saving throw to avoid this ability, they get a -1 modifier to their next wisdom saving throw, to a maximum of -5.
As of 10th level, for every consecutive time that they fail a wisdom saving throw to avoid this ability, they are either get a minus one modifier to their next wisdom saving throw or they gain one level of exhaustion to a maximum of level five.
As of level 20, the 7th consecutive time that they fail the wisdom saving throw to avoid this ability, their mind is shattered, and their intelligence, wisdom and charisma are reduced to zero, permanently. (Optional variant: In addition to having their intelligence, wisdom and charisma reduced to zero permanently, they're also permanently Charmed to the Bride of Yog-Sothoth that did it to them)
