Homebrew Kraul Species Details
In the dank and darkened undercity that sprawls just beneath the busy streets of Ravnica dwell the Kraul.
The kraul are an ascendant power group within the Golgari Swarm, long content to linger at the margins of the undercity but now increasingly making their buzzing voices heard in the subterranean Golgari guildhall. These six-legged, insectile beings are hard-headed and literal-minded, with little grasp of metaphor or nuance.
Kraul society is organized into well-defined roles and castes. The vast majority of the kraul occupy various tiers of soldiery, from commanders and elite troops down to the lowliest infantry
Kraul Traits
Your kraul character has the following racial traits.Ability Score Increase.
Your Strength score increases by 2, and your Constitution score increases by 1.
Age.
Kraul reach adulthood after only a few weeks. Female kraul implant several hundred eggs at a time into the bodies of large insects. When the eggs hatch the larval Kraul consume portions of the host's internal organs before bursting out of the insect's exoskeleton. At this point the larva weave cocoons that they attach to the host's lower carapace. Over the course of several weeks, the larva undergoes a metamorphosis, and emerge from their cocoons as adult Kraul. They then consume what remains of their "mother" leaving only a hallowed out exoskeleton behind.

Most of the kraul of Ravnica are usually neutral, with a slight inclination towards evil.
