Beast-kin: Overview

Beast-kin: Overview

The Beast-kin are a peoples of human stature with some sort of beastial changes, which can vary from minor to drastic in some cases. Many different types of beast folk can live together in groups, tending to conform to their race’s special attributes, where Bugbears tend to be warrior/barbarians, while Tabaxis go more rogue archetypes.

While they have many different races that live together, they mostly live in harmony by supporting each other with their unique characteristics, with the more long living races ending up being elders and chiefs.

Beast-kin usually live in tribes that can vary in size and racial differences, from being a large group of many different races to small groups of a single race. These tribes are usually peaceful with each other, and for the times where problems escalate, they end up with tribal duels where the strongest of the tribes will duel, instead of a total bloodshed.

Most tribes have a diverse population, and for minor exceptions where a single species completely inhabits the tribe, there are castes in how the races interact with each other. The chiefs and elders are made up of the longest living of the beast-kin, which usually end up being Tortles, but sometimes the rare Loxodon or even Owlins can be tribal leaders, as they end up being the most learned and knowledgeable. Below the chiefs and elders tend to be the warrior races; Leonids, Bugbears, and the occasional Orc that ends up in the tribe. The rest of the races tend to be equal in standing, but specific races might be slightly above or below according to their usefulness to the tribe in combat, hunting ability, or other unique specialties.

An important note to specify is that while there are other races that might be of beastial-stature, some tend to have more species centered living, like the Minotaur Kingdom or the Centaur tribes.

Beast-kin tribes usually inhabit medium to larger forests, where their beastial sides have an advantage over other races. While they can still trade and interact with people outside of their normal area of living, beast-kin tribes usually don’t expand outside of the forests unless of exceptional circumstances.
