Homebrew Axolotlfolk Species Details

Axolotlfolk are a small, amphibious race of people who exist in small groups in familial ponds.

Often insular communities, they are a rare site in many cites, favouring the more humid forests they are accustomed to.

They tend towards rangers or druids simply as a means of protecting their ponds, to which they have a close connection.

Possessing exemplary regenerative abilities, you seldom see an axolotlfolk bearing significant scarring. In fact, those that exist in more populace societies tend to adorn themselves with fake scars to better fit in.

Long lived, some of the most established dynasties have matriarchs that are over 150 years old. 

Axolotl folk live in family communities formed of multiple generations of offspring from the same parental pair. They live in their parents pond till they reach 16-18 years old, before they leave in search of their own pond.
