Beastkin

From The Wandering Inn Wiki
(Redirected from Booru:Beastkin)

Beastkin are one of the races of Innworld. They are mostly found on Baleros and Chandrar.

Background[edit | edit source]

Beastkin does not refer to one specific people but a set of tribes known collectively as Beastkin. Each tribe takes traits from a specific animal, such as Cat Beastkin or Rabbit Beastkin. Scattered and relatively sparse, the Beastkin are a rare species but generally acclimatise to any lands they find themselves in. They also tend to have interesting relationships with animals given their heritage. A Rabbit Beastkin is wary of cats for instance, and will generally save innocent bunnies by beating up any predators on the prowl.[1]

Beastkin in Izril mainly reside in the southern half of the continent and can be mainly found among the Gnoll Tribes than in Drake settlements.[2] There are Fox-Beastkin living on Chandrar, such as in Nerrhavia's Fallen.[3]

Appearances[edit | edit source]

Fox[edit | edit source]

They are shorter on average than humans, slim, and nimble. Their fur color ranges across red, sandy, black, and occasionally silver.[3]

Wolf[edit | edit source]

They resemble Gnolls, but are shorter and have distinct lupine features.[4]

Salamander[edit | edit source]

They are scaled like Drakes and Lizardfolk, but their heads are flat, and they have the most lizard-like face of the three.[4]

Crocodile[edit | edit source]

They are huge, scaly, with wide set eyes on both sides of their face and a long tooth-filled snout.[5] Their feet are stuby and webbed with talons.[6]

Behavior and Culture[edit | edit source]

They are known to be peaceful and easy to work with. They are a bit closer to their roots than other species, which can give them some behavioral traits from the animals they are based on.[7]

Most Beastkin do not leave their home tribes. Those that do are usually wanderers, outcasts, or on a mission.[8]

History[edit | edit source]

Fox-Beastkin were protected in Chandrar under Tottenval, leading to a population boom on the continent. As his work benefited many people even to the present day, most nations didn't displace them after his death and the dissolution of Flos' empire.[3]

  • The Cat and Dog-Beastkin are known to fight each other, though comparatively less compared City Drakes and Plains Gnolls.[14]
