My D&D 3.5 Homebrew Pug Race.

So I have been working on a home brew race for a future D&D game. It is a race based upon my favorite 4 legged friend the Pug!

Also found a very funny video that made me laugh. its a somewhat spoof of the history of the pug.

 

I did not draw this I found it while googleing but I found it to be very appropriate for a Pugdorian Guard

Pugdorian (3.5e Race)

Pugdorians

The rarely-seen Pugdorians are a race of small sized (About the size of a dwarf) caninish creatures. While canine in nature they are bipedal with hands similar to human hands. Covered from head to tail in fur with very distinctly pug features and coloration.

Personality

Pugdorians personalities vary greatly from one pug to another. Overall, their personality is more puglike in nature than human. They can be extremely lazy at times, often sleeping entire days. Pugdorians often stick around a human friend, following them everywhere almost in inappropriate ways, The Pugdorian may seem extraordinary dependent and helpless without companions but the Pugdorian is extremely self-sufficient if left alone.

Few Pugdorians wear any clothing. Nudity is common among the pugs as part of their animal-like nature. The only Pugdorians who regularly wear any clothing of any kind are Pugdorian priestesses and Pugdorian warriors who are specifically charged with the protection of the village. Pugdorians who spend a large amount of time around other species may wear clothing to avoid breaking any taboos other species might have about public nudity. Pugdorians are not the most nimble creature but they are extremely charismatic.

Physical Description

Pugdorians resemble 3 to 4 foot tall pug people with more pug features than human. Their most noticeable pug features are their squished snout and their curly tail. Their fur color can vary some from one Pugdorian to another. In most cases, however, they tend to be fawn with black snouts and ears. The top of their heads is adorned with human-like hair varying wildly in color and texture. They have tails which are short and curly. All Pugdorians are capable of snorting, sneezing and barking a piercing bark, almost deafening.

Relations

Pugdorians typically hang around their own type or that of humanoid races. There has been rare sightings of Outsiders to keep a Pugdorian as a companion.

Alignment

Pugdorians are generally of good alignment.

Religion

Pugdorians rarely worship a diety but rather they have multiple gods with names that don’t translate well from their native tongue. The God of Treats, and the God of Naps are common among the Pugdorians

Language

The Pugdorians speak their own language known as Pugnish. To the untrained or unfocused ear, their speech could almost be perceived as nothing more than the sounds normal pugs make. Grunting, girdling and the occasional sneeze and snort.

Names

Pugdorian names vary greatly but common names are: Spike, Scout, Pugsly, and Mr. Woofwoof.
