Chattur (5e Race)

Chattur

“	Do NOT harm a hair on that thing!!	”
—Space Captain Andermack

Physical Description

Chatturs are tiny humanoids that exhibit the trait of small monkeys and rodents. They are slender and quick. They have very dexterous front paws that are equipped with claw-like claw-tipped fingers and an opposable thumb. They have a wide face and wide eyes that stare with an innocent look that many humans find appealing. They also have a mask like that of a raccoon on their face that has given them the name of "Space Bandits".

History

Chattur are one of the many non-indigenous races of the Phlogiston, having been condemned to its florescent depths by what is believed to have been a cataclysm that destroyed their homeworld, or perhaps its entire crystal sphere. Their tribes and warrens dot the universe, particularly aboard spelljammers, where they usually stow away and create their own little living space. They have an amazing sixth sense for survival, so having one on a ship has historically been used as an indicator that a ship is in good hands, and as such are typically tolerated. When a chattur is seen leaving a ship, however, it is an omen that is disaster set to befall the craft. This survival instinct is believed to have tided the chattur over from the extinction they faced back on their origin planet. As they have no place to truly call home, they make their homes just about everywhere, from ships, to planets, or even passing asteroids.

Society

Chatturs live in small family groups, living as scavengers in cities and as stowaways on ships. They are so good at sneaking that groups can live on a ship for years without being discovered. They are not fond of large groups, so young adult pairs routinely leave to form their own groups. A group will have a patriarch or matriarch who has often advanced as a rogue. They fight only when their nests or such is threatened, and have little desire other than to feed themselves, breed, and live life. They adapt to new climate and food with ease. Chatturs hate wrybacks and will often set traps to capture and kill them.
