Homebrew Mothren Species Details

Born in the feywild, the Mothren are reclusive creatures. Often preferring to mind their own business some have managed to spread away from their home and into the material realms. In the realms they live mainly in caves and in forests, though quite a few were gifted with adventurous spirits and seek a life away from their colony. Gifted with flight but cursed with bad eyesight the Mothren usually act as companions to whatever adventurers they find interesting. Mothren have their own personalities just like anyone else. Some are brave and others timid, some are kind but others cruel. They have their own ambitions and goals, and as such can take on any path they choose. Mothren can be druids or paladins or fighters or warlocks, nothing stops them from following their own paths in life.
