Ipotane - New Race (Premium Supplement) (Patreon)

Introduction

The Ipotane combines the grace and speed of a horse with the intellectual depth and versatility of humanoids, but with a twist: the creature's top half is equine while its bottom half resembles that of a human. Enigmatic and powerful, the Ipotane is known for its wisdom, agility, and inherent magical abilities, navigating the world with a blend of keen insight and physical prowess.

Physical Appearance

Ipotanes are known for their horse-like heads, complete with majestic manes, and a muscular humanoid lower body. Their eyes portray deep wisdom and an eternal calm, while their torsos lean forward slightly, providing them with a stoic and stable stance. Ipotanes can vary widely in coloration, with their fur, skin, and mane each potentially being of different colors and textures.

Society

Ipotane societies often revolve around ancient traditions and a deep connection to the natural world. They tend to form close-knit communities, typically led by an elder or a council of wise individuals. Their societies value balance and harmony, and as such, they frequently engage in practices that honor and protect the land and creatures around them.
