Beastkin

Rare Specie

Beastkin are humanoids with distinct animal traits, ranging from subtle features like rabbit ears to pronounced adaptations such as wings or claws. Often seen as a bridge between civilization and the wilds, they may resemble their animal kin closely or only slightly. Beastkin are tied to nature, sometimes believed to descend from fey beasts or lycanthropes. Known for their curiosity, many explore other civilizations but often return to their natural homes to act as protectors.
