Killoren (3.5e Race)

''This is a homebrew race meant to replace a published one. You may be looking for the Killoren that were printed in Races of the Wild instead.''

Killoren
Summary::Killoren are the product of the wrongful deaths of other fey, the instruments of revenge for the natural world. When fey die, their remaining magical energies coalesce into a humanoid form and become a killoren, imbuing it with a deeply-rooted hatred for those who wronged it in its previous lives. While not necessarily evil, they are extremely militant in response to acts against nature.

Perhaps the most frightening thing about killoren is their nondescript appearance, which is practically indistinguishable from that of a half-elf. When they switch to different aspects of nature, however, their skin and eye color changes, hinting at their not-so-mortal heritage.
