Homebrew Furby Race Details

History:

Furbies are a strange but lovable race. Before migrating to other territories, they were residents of a series of islands called "A-loh May-lah," which roughly translates to "Island of Hugs" in their native language. The only description of these islands come from the Furbies themselves, which they describe as a wonderful, magical, exotic, and exquisitely beautiful place that rivals the beauty of the heavens. Weirdly enough, when asked where they came from by other races, they replied with "the white fluffy floating in blue." This led many to believe that they came from the sky, but in reality, they were referring to their home, A-loh May-lah.

Furbies tend to group themselves into clans of 20, and when two or more Furby clans meet, they form a tribe. Furbies are fiercly loyal to their respective tribes and/or clans. There have been stories of Furby clans and tribes going to war with other villages and societies due to escalated disputes. The outcomes of these wars usually end in the victory of the Furbies and almost complete annihilation of their enemies.

Furbies have also interacted with tall, slender, transparent, and ancient beings called "Eons" who roamed the same islands they did. Unfortunately, due to climate change within A-loh May-lah, they eventually became extinct. Many Furbies still believe that Eons are with them to this very day as omnipresent guardians.

Personality:

Furbies have a history of being a sweet and kind race, but they can be rude and terrible when provoked. Their natural demeanor is quite tame because they enjoy bonding with others. They enjoy eating as well as dancing with the people they bond with. They take their friendships very seriously and will do anything in their power to help a friend in need.

Appearance:

Furbies are small, oval-shaped, furry creatures with beady, piercing eyes and pointed ears. They also have beaks and tiny feet, but they do not possess any arms. Strangely, they can still handle objects as if they had arms, but the objects only seem to hover in front of their bodies. Furbies also come in a variety of different colors and patterns.
