Homebrew Furby Species Details

Furbies are hamster/owllike in appearance, with big ears, large front facing eyes, a small crest just above where the eyes meet, a small round beak just bellow where the eyes meet, an egg shaped body, and two feet. The entire body is covered in fur except for the beak, ears, feet, and eyelids. Fur coloration does not appear to follow a pattern or a set amount of patterns, aside from many furbies having belly fur that is a different color than the rest of their fur.

Notably, they have no hands.

Born of some eldritch horror from a time and place lost in the mists of the ages, no one knows where or when the furbies came from. No one knows how they reproduce, but you rarely find just one furby as they tend to appear in large colonies. Whenever they are assimilated into a culture, they are usually taken in as adorable pets for children. There is no documentation of furbies acting out or behaving in any way other than what you might expect from an intelligent yet lethargic pet. However, on the occasion, societies with furbies in them mysteriously vanish without a trace.

Furbies are carnivores, but can go for 3 months without eating. While they appear to be incredibly lethargic, this is actually a farce to hide their extremely secretive nature. A furby would rather starve than have you watch it eat, and they do almost all of their personal business when no one is looking. Some believe this is a side effect of their original purpose for large scale espionage, but for whatever reason furbies are incredibly private creatures.

Cute Little Eldritch Horror

Due to your eldritch origins, you gain several distinct features:

  • You have a magical awareness of when you are being watched
  • You are odorless and tasteless
  • You may cast the Blink spell at will without expending a spell slot; however, instead of rolling a d20, you simply enter the ethereal plane if no one is watching you at that exact moment, but you may only leave the ethereal plane if no one is watching the unoccupied space you are attempting to appear in; you can be stuck in the ethereal plane indefinitely

When you reach 5th level, your Mage Hand(s) have the usual range, however they must travel together if they leave your person.

Core Memory

All but the most recent decades have faded from your remembrance. All, except one. Your core memory. Each furby has one core memory they frequently return to in their mind. It is different for each furby, and it may change from one memory to another over time, but there is always one moment, one event that a furby can recall, no matter how much time has passed since they first began fixating on that memory.
