Miltank was one of those "Hey, wouldn't it e funny if I could make this into a race" situations. Not a whole lot of references in this one except for the obvious nod to Whitney in the History section (Come on, I had to). I was going to add Scrappy as a trait, but was unsure how to make it work. Milk Drink is the most interesting trait, as it uses Constitution as the spellcasting modifier similar to genasi. However, this was scrapped in favor of something much better, as written by Papa slow-ying.

The age section is quite interesting as well. Miltanks maturing at age 4 refers to the average productive life of a holstein friesian cow, which is what Miltank is based off of, and them living up to 25 years refers to the average life of cows in general. --MetalShadowOverlord (talk) 03:28, 16 April 2019 (MDT)
