Homebrew Canid Species Details
Canids, or Houndfolk as some call them, are as hardy and loyal as they are fierce. Canids are incredibly diverse and come in all shapes and sizes, from chihuahua to wolf, from bulldog to coyote. Though each member of this race is an individual with their own alignment and morals, a majority of Canids find strength in numbers, tending to choose their "pack" and stick with them.
Though canids may appear to be distant cousins to Gnolls, the two couldn't be further apart. In fact, Gnolls are closer to Tabaxi than Canids! The Houndfolk are proud, and what some may lack in intelligence, they make up for with a ferocious loyalty. But it's not true what they say: and old dog can learn new tricks.
