Beaverfolk[edit]
Physical Description[edit]
Beaverfolk look like beavers that learned to stand on two feet and gained a longer spine as they did so. They have two larger front teeth and strong jaws used for defense, attack and carpentry. There is little difference in looks between the male and female counterparts, so they use names to differentiate.

History[edit]
Some people believe that Beaverfolk were created from beavers that were blessed with higher thought. The beavers eventually grew into a humanoid form and started interacting with other species. Despite this, most Beaverfolk don't worship any being and often have quite simplistic and possibly crude world views, with the years of history that are normally needed before a species starts having more complex thoughts as a whole missing from the Beaverfolk. They often ignored religious things for this reason, leading to some taking offense with Beaverfolk.
Society[edit]
Beaverfolk society functions very similar to normal beaver Familes, but with many more Beaverfolk. Societies work to gether very fluidly and as such there is little infighting within settlements and between settlements. Most Beaverfolk become quite confused when seeing it for the first time in other races.
