Pomeranian Lycanthrope (5e Race Variant)
The Pomeranian Race Variant[edit]
Similar to other lycanthrope subraces, the Pomeranian Variant transforms the humanoid creature into a beast, however the particular beast is a pomeranian. Lycanthropy can turn the most civilized humanoid into a ravaging beast...or perhaps a small dog. Despite them weighing only around 7 pounds, they arguably hold the same commanding presence as a larger breed. See the Lycanthrope page (as linked above) for more information on general behaviors and details on the general species.
