Homebrew Awakened Feral Species Details
Awakened Ferals are small creatures of magical nature. Usually found as familiars to wizards and sorcerers, some awakened ferals have been found to have a higher level of intelligence after years of living with smarter species. Awakened Ferals come in a wide variety of shapes, types, and colors, which usually depend on what region of the world they were born in.
For example, Scaly Ferals are normally found in swampy or warm environments, Furred Ferals can be found in cold and forest environments, and Winged Ferals can be found in warm and forest environments.
Of course, with a crossing of environments, Ferals sometimes have the tendency to cross species, leading to mixed Feral races.
