-either way he packs a punch (kick or bite lol)

-fast runner and good hider

-if he doesn’t want to be found you won’t find hiim

Ten: Kangaroo Mouse- 

-I know I know, weird choice lol

-but these little lads are good runners and jumpers

-sometimes sings in the middle of the night

-can’t help it, just an animal behavior 

-no pets

Jaehyun: (Arctic) Wolf

-piercing eyes like no ones business

-not so much a leader as a fighter

Xiaojun: 

-come back to 

-head empty

Hendery: (Bengal) Cat 

-This guy really stumped everyone when he joined the house

-usually sticks to others he’s comfortable with

Renjun: (Fennec) Fox

-So soft and small and cute

-Not so cuddly

-Likes to steal socks just to be a nuisance

Jeno: (Samoyed) Dog

-Full of energy and smiles

-Yet also strangely chill

-good vibes all around

-chilled and love to daydream

Yangyang: Ram

-ah be careful, he likes to headbutt

-no one else has the head strength or durability to headbutt him back

-Maybe when Sungchan’s horns grow in he’ll want to 

Shotaro: Bobcat 

-would never imagine he was a predator

-nevermind a big cat and not a little domestic cat

-well he’s not a big big cat but still

-good climber

-does play like a house cat often though

-he likes the little sting toys lol

Sungchan: ( Caribou?) Deer 

-big beautiful eyes like galaxies

Yoo i figured out how to fit them all on 1 post! Nice! These are fun to do lol Let me know some suggestions for things I should write!

[jamiebluewind]

Gaf's Form

Ayda chose a tropical fish as the form her familiar took and named them Garthy And Adaine The Fish (or Gaf for short). While beautiful and helpful, the form was somewhat impractical for the half-phoenix. Adaine suggested that Ayda look into other forms for her familiar, specifically "something cuddlier than a fish." This suggestion made me wonder which familiar would be best for Ayda (and yall know what happens when I get curious).

After searching the official creatures from various D&D sources and finding them all unsatisfactory, I decided homebrew one. I researched real world animals for a full day until I ran across a creature that fit Ayda. Instead of just doing a reskin, I spent another day researching the animal and all the official tiny misc creature to create a sheet for them with stats that truly fit. I left my research notes by each stat below to explain why each thing was chosen as well as most of the interesting information I found. So without further ado, may I introduce you to...

Fennec Fox

Tiny beast, unaligned

----------------------------------

Armor Class: 13 [10 + dex modifier]

Hit Points: 1 (1d4 -1) [due to size, predators, and con modifier]

Speed: 25 ft. [cats run 30 mph and have 40 movement while Fennec Foxes can run 20 mph], burrow 5ft. [they can dig up to 20 ft per night in their natural environment and same score as badger]

----------------------------------

Str: 2 (-4) [they are small and light and their main predictors are owls which have a score of 3 (-4)]

Dex: 16 (+3) [16 described on a page about ability scores as light on feet and able to often hit small moving targets and same score as almiraj/weasel]

Con: 9 (-1) [same score as rat, lower than cat, higher than weasel]

Int: 2 (-4) [2 described on a page about ability scores as animalistic and acting on instinct but can still resort to simple planning/tactics and same score as rat/weasel/badger]

Wis: 12 (+1) [emotionally intelligent, pack animals, and same score as raven/weasel/bat/cat/owl/badger]

Cha: 5 (-3) [highly social, affectionate, exhibits playing behavior, very vocal, and same score as badger, more than rat/bat, and less than raven/baboon]

[adding together all the points in the stats gives us 46, which is between the 34 to 51 range other official misc creatures of the same size range have]

----------------------------------

Skills: Perception +3 [wis modifier 1 + proficiency bonus 2, very alert], Stealth +5 [dex modifier 3 + proficiency bonus 2, fluffy paws, burrowers, agile]

Damage Vulnerabilities: Thunder [large sensative ears, note: cold is not included in vulnerabilities due to their fur also working to insulate them from the extreme temperature drop to at night that can get to freezing temperatures]

Damage Resistances: Fire [adapted to desert life]

Senses: Darkvision 30ft. [enhanced night vision due to being most active at dusk, dawn, and night], Passive Perception 13 [10 + perception proficiency 3]

Language:--

Challenge: 0 (10 XP)

----------------------------------

Keen Hearing and Smell: The Fennec Fox has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell. [very good hearing and smell]

Desert Camouflage. The Fennec Fox has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made while in a desert or similar sandy environment. [their fur gives them natural camouflage]

Desert Dweller: The Fennec Fox is immune from the negative effects that usually occur in very hot conditions (above 90° F) and severe heat (above 110° F) as well as dehydration caused by non-magical means. [their natural environment reaches 104° F during the summer, they have multiple adaptations to cool their body, and they get almost all of their water from their food with kidneys adapted to restrict water loss]

----------------------------------

Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +0 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 1 piercing damage.

----------------------------------

Description

The Fennec Fox is a tiny cream colored canid native to some of the hotest deserts in the world. They are built to survive their harsh environment with a coat that protects them from the scorching days and the freezing nights. Their massive ears also help dissipate heat and help them pinpoint hidden prey, even underground. Unlike most foxes, Fennec Foxes are highly social, playful, and affectionate creatures who live with their pack in burrows dug in the sand. Their fur is valued by tribespeople and nobles alike.

Tag: Misc Creature

Environment: Desert

----------------------------------

Bonus: Instead of turning to mist like Boggy, Gaf (even the letters for the name still work) turns into sand. I also think the case for fire immunity could be made for Gaf since they are Ayda's familiar.

----------------------------------

Fennec Fox Fun Facts

The thick fur on their paws protects their feet from the scorching sand, give them traction to run up to 20mph, and work like snowshoes for sand. This allows them to walk on top of sand instead of sinking into it.

They have an average vertical jump of 2 ft and a long jump of 4 ft, but adults can jump up to 3 ft from standing.

They are the smallest of all canids at 1.5 to 3.5 lbs and 9 to 16 in long.

They are the most active at twilight and night, causing them to develop enhanced night vision.

They are monogamous, live with a pack in a burrow under the sand (sometimes with their den connected to the dens of other families), and highly social.

They live in burrows that can be up to 32 ft in length (or up to 1,292 sq ft) with a single fennec able to dig up to 20 feet per night.

They hunt alone and use their large ears to locate prey under the sand before digging them out (using all four of their paws).

Their diet is mostly insects (especially grasshoppers  and locusts), but they also eat small rodents, lizards, birds, and bird eggs with occasional roots, fruit, or leaves.

Their main preditor is the eagle owl, but their are other possible predictors including caracals, jackals, hyenas, and domestic dogs. However, they are very difficult to capture, making eagle owls and people the only creatures that seem to ever be able to catch them.

High energy, jumpy, affectionate, and clever.

Play behavior is common (including with adults) and they won't bite unless they feel cornered or afraid, save during mating season.

They are very vocal and can whimper, bark, shriek, squeak, growl, howl, chatter, wail, snarl, and purr.

Their lifespan is about 10 years in the wild and 13 years in captivity.

Here is an image of one that I found on the San Diego Zoo website.
