Homebrew Kalekstel Species Details
Kalekstel are a small beastlike humanoid.
Typically (but not exclusively)they appear mostly human with feline or canine ears and a matching tail, their hair is typically more fur like and rather long with males growing fur from their scalp down the back of their necks and across their backs.
Kalekstel also tend to resemble animals indigenous the the area but not always.
Regardless of animal a Kalekstel resembles, they all have very distinct slited puples similar to that of a cat.
Kalekstel are nomadic by nature and as such its not uncommon to find them within tribes of other Kalekstel as well as among mercenary groups.
