Homebrew Fawn Species Details
Physical Description
Fawn are centaurs, but instead of a horse-body, they have the body of a goat. As a result, they are much shorter than their horse-cousins and are about the average height of a human. They have brown hair and a brown coat, with white markings adorning their lower-half. Fawn have two goat-ears that poke out above their hair, and can rotate them to listen for danger. Fawns also have eyes similar to a goat, and they are often brown or yellow. On average Fawns are small and slight, reaching up to 5'8". Fawns mature the same rate as humans, but can live as old as 200.
Fawn get along well with Fey, Satyrs, and other forest creatures. They are mostly afraid of other races, because they are accidentally mistaken for livestock and killed.
Personality
Fawns are quite shy and slow to trust, but can be very charismatic. They are kind animals, and are known for helping lost travellers through hard times. They live in small villages deep in the forests, and, as a result, don't know the outside world, resulting in a naïve personality.
