Harengon
Harengons were a humanoid race resembling rabbits that originated from the Feywild.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Harengons were bipedal rabbit-like creatures with extended feet and prolonged ears. They had a variety of fur colorations. Harengons had keen senses and powerful legs. The harengons' main characteristic was their energized personalities and tightly wound up musculature ready to spring into action at any given moment.
Biological Traits
Harengons were creatures native to the Feywild and were blessed with fey luck, keen senses, and precise footwork. Their powerful legs could propel them into impressive jumps, akin to a rabbit's hop.
With training, harengons were peerless snipers with the light crossbow, able to hit targets that were 320 feet away and behind cover.
Behaviour
Harengons were free-spirited travelers, and spread far and wide and across many worlds of the Material Plane from their native Feywild. They rarely stayed in one place for long, and preferred to journey by foot.
A harengon's world view and even personality were shaped by the company they kept. Those who travelled with heroes became brave and ambitious, those who travelled with brigands became mean and antagonistic, and those who travelled alone while leaving new friends in their wake became freedom-loving and peaceful. Those harengons who turned to banditry often travelled in small groups, preferring to ambush or extort traveling parties with fewer members than their own, and quickly fled when a fight turned against them.
Civilization and Culture
Naming Traditions
In Harengon culture, names hold deep meaning, often tied to a character’s personality or their community. Some Harengons choose their names as adults, while others inherit names from their warren or family.
Names are often tied to nature or whimsy due to their long association with the feywild. For example, Clover, Breeze, Flint, or Thistle reflect their connection to the natural world while names like Moonwhisper, Stardust, Duskpaw, or Twilight reflect their magical fey origins.
Surnames are relatively new to Haregon culture and are mostly found when communities have settled for a long period of time in the Prime Material. They were mostly created to help distinguish family lines since they were more-or-less separated from their natural home in the feywild. Such last names are usually based off physical descriptions, as the Haregon tried to emulate surnames of other communities. Examples of surnames include Swiftheart, Longear, or Frostwhisker.
