Dohwar

[I would just like to take a moment to thank @thecreaturecodex for bouncing ideas off and proofing this entry, I am thankful for her help.]

Dohwar This small penguin-like humanoid sports a glossy black and white feather coat with a colorful brow feathers.

Dohwars are a race of small, chubby, flightless avian resembling in many ways large penguins. Native to temperate and arctic coastal regions of a far off world, they are consummate merchants, viewing most interactions through a lens of mercantile exchange and contract. A dohwar refers to marriage partnership as a "merger" and their eggs as "new wares." A dohwar is constantly seeking new means of barter and exchange, a trait that either makes them endearing or grating depending on the individual dealing with the dohwar. Dohwar tend to loath violence, viewing it as a complete dissolution of ability to negotiate with others, but in case of the inevitable, prefer a support role, leaving combat to allies or mercenaries when combat arises.

Dohwar as player characters A dohwar does not have racial Hit Dice and advances by character class. Bard, Occultist and Rogue are common classes among dohwars. A dohwar character has the following racial traits-

+2 Intelligence, +2 Charisma, -2 Wisdom: Dohwar are shrewd and charismatic negotiators, but are known to be flighty and impulsive.

Mercantile: Dohwar receive a +2 racial bonus to Appraise and on a Craft or Profession skill of their choice. Dohwar also always have Appraise and Sense Motive as a class skill.

Language: Dohwar begin play speaking Common and Dohwar. Furthermore, members of this race with high Intelligence scores can learn any languages they want (except Druidic and other secret languages).

Hagspawn

Dai Bakemono by Alex Konstad

Hagspawn

The sons of malicious, predatory hag mothers, hagspawn are an unfortunate people, despised by both parent of their kind. Hags continue their awful lineage by taking human males for mates,usually murdering and devouring the hapless captive later. The female children of a hag are changelings, and often quickly grow into hags like that of their mothers, but in rare circumstances, a son is born to the hag. These male children are hagspawn, half-human out-casts. Feared and hated by normal humans, and abused and neglected by their hag mothers, hagspawn must make their way in the world by dint of their strength, hardiness, and sheer determination.

     All too often, hagspawn are filled with the malice, violence, and resentment of their monstrous parent. They are quick to take offense and view even the most in-nocent remark as a hidden slight. People regard them as ill-tempered monsters, and many hagspawn perpetuate distrust of their kind by behaving exactly as expected. They look out for themselves first and regard companions as temporary allies that will abandon them when convenient. If they remain with their mothers, they are treated as bodyguards and minions rather than children, and those that leave often become mercenaries and thugs. Hagspawn are capable of working furiously to achieve a desired end and do not shy away from physical hardship or danger if the reward seems worth the risk.

     Bulky creatures, Hagspawn tend to be around 6’ and weighs around 200 lbs.

An Elgon, the result of an elf having a kid with a dragon. Often are kept in elf communities for their precognitive properties (which they don’t have, in truth they’re really good at guessing). Also they eat meat, which can be a problem for the menageries elves tend to keep.
