Levillan

The levillan are a subterranean race that was discovered under the Desert of Ruins so far this is the only location that they are known to dwell. Being semi-aquatic they can live above ground but they do need to submerge themselves in water every so often.

Basic Information

Genetics and Reproduction

Levillans hatch from eggs and typically the mother lays one egg a year. Once the mother has hatched the egg, she gives it to the father who places it in the Egg Sack at the front of his stomach. This is to give the mother time to hunt after carrying the egg. After a month of gestating the egg, a young levillan emerges from the egg sack.

Additional Information

Social Structure

The society of the levillans is a monarchy; and each king or queen is descended from the first levillan to emerge from the tunnels.

Facial characteristics

Their faces resemble blob fishes; smooshed down, and flat. Bigger noses are the epitome of beauty within the Levillan Society.

Average Intelligence

Intelligent beings, they have constructed tunnels, mines, and an underground city. They have learned how to cultivate underwater crops and fishes for food.
THere is no arcane work being done by the levillans nor do they appear to worship a Spirit.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

As a race, they are able to turn invisible when their skin has moisture in it. It is unclear if this is a natural process due to their anatomy or if this is due to some latent magic within them. A thick layer of membrane covers their skin; when it is wet, it reflects light. 
When the levillans get older this membrane can also be used to give other races the ability to breathe under water for a short time.

• You gain proficiency with the Poisoner's Kit if you don’t already have it. With one hour of work using a poisoner’s kit and expending 50 gp worth of materials, you can create a number of doses of potent poison equal to your proficiency bonus. Once applied to a weapon or piece of ammunition, the poison retains its potency for 1 minute or until you hit with the weapon or ammunition. When a creature takes damage from the coated weapon or ammunition, that creature must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or take 2d8 poison damage and become poisoned until the end of your next turn.
