Oomukade, Variant (5e Race)
Oomukade[edit]
Description[edit]
Oomukade are humanoids with the lower body of a centipede. Although the upper body is generally alluring, it gives off a darker impression. They often have antennae on their head, but the rest of their upper body is deceptively normal. They have potent poison within their bodies that they use to hunt. Poison can be injected using the maxillipeds at the tip of their tail. Alternatively, they also possess a retractable venomous stinger under their tongue.
Society[edit]
They appear to have a rather melancholy and depressive disposition. At the same time, they possess a very ferocious and territorial nature, and are generally more aggressive as they hunt. They tend to prefer darker, wet areas, and thus normally inhabit shadowy woods deep within the mountains, caves, etc.
