Astral Dog (5e Race)

Astral Dogs

Humanoid dogs, which possess a small amount of magical power. (Ok, I'm not sure and it's possible that there are still problems involving fluff, but I think it's all set, Sorry if it's not fixed yet.)

They are canines with humanoid appearance and form. Their fur color and other canine traits vary widely.

History

They are humanoid creatures resembling dogs, created as the result of a mage's experiment, which granted them a more human-like appearance, intelligence, and innate magical power. Following this experiment, they escaped and spread across the world.

Society

They typically live in communities made up almost entirely of other Human Dogs, but they may also settle in communities of other races.
