Tortle

When the God Oribris was finished tinkering with dimensional forces, he decided to shift his focus to creating life with a small spattering of this same magic. This is how the Tortle race came to inhabit Irilia. Oribris fashioned his creations after the small reptiles that were common around Glise as they were the perfect vessel to house their own special dimension. Tortles are all housed in a very special shell that looks normal on the outside, but when it is entered, the inside is much larger than it seems. Their shell can comfortably fit a large room worth of furniture and up to 5 Medium sized creatures, though this weight is not felt when they are not fully inside their shell. So, it is true when they say a Tortle carries its house with it. When a Tortle dies, the magic that encompasses its shell dissipates immediately and anything that was inside will be transported to a special dimension created by Oribris.

Serpentine Fangs. Thanks to your snake head, you have sharp needle-like fangs that you can use to make unarmed strikes. You are proficient with your fangs and they have the finesse property. When you hit with your fangs, they deal 1d6 Piercing damage and the target must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, they are Poisoned until the end of your next turn. On a success, they are not Poisoned.
Tongue Sense. Your tongue can be used as an extra sense comparable to the sense of smell of others. When you make a Perception check that requires smell, you can instead use your tongue to sense what it is. When you make a check in this way, you make it with advantage. If you are successful, you know which direction the smell is coming from.
