Aenimae (Monstrous Humanoids)

Third Party (Aenimae)

Creatures TO USE as-is or adapt into my Campaign Setting

Creatures Under Consideration

Creatures created by various people or organizations that I am considering for inclusing into Xal'Anim Campaign Setting

• Sergals

(Anthropomorphs: Sort-of like a cross between a shark, a fox, and a chimera (which it literally is, in some sense). As with most of the included races, name and abilities subject to change (within only the scope of my world, as I am not the author of this creature)).

• Canin - seems to be a sort of anthropomorphic dog-like humanoid race. MIGHT CONSIDER this for adaptation or just plain full inclusion in my setting later on :) Thanks to Halloweenman33 (talk) for making it! :)
