Homebrew Hjuldra Species Details
A long history within secluded forests are behind the hjuldra of Gaila. Beautiful humanoids with ram-like horns and animalistic ears are the key defining features of a hjuldra. They are known for their love of nature, soothing voices, and bright personalities. Their most notable physical traits are wooden plates that cover their backs and a long, cow-like tail. They are slightly shorter than humans on average, ranging from well under 5 feet tall to just over 6 feet. They are more slender than humans, weighing only 100 to 145 pounds. Males and females are about the same height, and males are only marginally heavier than females.
Hjuldra skin coloration encompasses the normal human range but they mostly are on the darker side of said range. They can have hair of white, black, red, or pink, and eyes like pools of liquid gold or silver. They favor elegant clothing in bright colors, and they enjoy simple yet lovely jewelry. Hjuldra are naturally self-conscious about the tree-like wooden plates along their back, and try to hide them with clothing, capes, or cloaks.
