Homebrew Xenicoth Species Details

 

Xenicoth are typically evil doing the mordyrs favor but some can break free, however civilization gives them no remorse. 

Tall and Slender

Tall and gaunt, xenicoth are known as brutal fighters, adept mages, and driven rogues. Though they stand well over 6 feet tall, xenicoth can weigh as little as 80 pounds. Their shear endurance and brutality in combat is what keeps them fighting, and lends them some respect from orcs and barbarians alike.

Xenicoth skin ranges from a void black to a pale ashy grey. Their hair if any, is short and thin. Instead most Xenicoth are adorned with antlers or horns of some kind. 

Life 

Xenicoth can live to be more than 800 years old, or as little as 50, it's all dependant on drive. A xenicoth can simply will itself to death so long as the mordyr doesn't stop them. xenicoth always begins as another race, and their look reflects this.
