call to adventure that stirs an Otterfolk’s desire to voyage.
Animal Origins
The animal heritage of the Otterfolk can best be seen in their Otterfolk Names
appearances, still holding on to characteristics similar to Otterfolk names originate from their native language of
common otters. Otterfolk tend to be between 3 to 4 feet tall, Otteren. This language evolved from the series of squeaks,

swim and travel. However, they will often accessorize
themselves with sea shells, shiny trinkets, or any other items
they might have found or traded.
Kindly Creatures
Most Otterfolk have one concern that drives them to be part
of their tribe, family. While they might play tricks and pranks
on those around them, Otterfolk deeply love and care for the
ones that they call family and will help them in their goals
and in their times of need.
Despite not wanting to be part of society and focus more
on a nomadic lifestyle, Otterfolk do care about others who
are in need. Whether they be the injured of the nearby human
settlement who’ve suffered a devastating avalanche or an
elven ship sinking and in need of rescue, these small
creatures will more often than not help them.
Voyaging in Their Blood
Many tribes tend to stick to their nomadic and voyager
traditions, only a few tribes having permanent settlements,
and even fewer living among the same settlements with other
races. Most tribes travel through the winding rivers of the
land or the vast oceans in search of new land and places to
set temporary camps to care for the needy and raise the
young.
Once in a few generations, a group of young Otterfolk will
say their farewells to their home tribe and set off on their
own, charting their own paths and creating new tribes in
order to help keep their traditions and sense of family alive.
