Mollopod

A humanoid race of shelled molluscs, mollopods are an artful, amiable, and spiritual folk who live and thrive in the freshwater swamps. Renowned for their eccentric and idiosyncratic beliefs (each mollopod has their own theory on the nature of the cosmos). Mollopods often find themselves acting as spiritual guides, fortune tellers, and advisories on the mystical to folk of all races. They have an innate flair for the theatrical and storytelling. A mollopod’s most distinctive feature is, of course, its shell, which begins growing on its back from childhood. No matter the situation, a well traveled mollopod will likely carry the answer somewhere in its shell. Groups of mollopod travel in large caravans, riding the backs of giant snails living a traveling nomadic life.

Only objects can enter this extra-dimensional space, and the only manner in which you can enter it is to use an action to reach in and place or retrieve some- thing from inside. You can picture the object you wish to retrieve from your shell, and so long as it has been stored in the extra-dimensional space that object will appear in your hand as you withdraw it.
