Microfauna in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Microfauna
Your animal aspect connects you to the small creatures that live underfoot. You embrace the stealth of mice, the alertness of the rabbit, or possibly the tail of a squirrel.
Though they don't resemble small mammals and rodents in their facial features or skin colour, some do possess animalistic ears. Leporines share the keen senses and powerful leg muscles of rabbits and hare like creatures and are full of energy, like a wound-up spring. Leporines are blessed with a little aureli luck, and they often find themselves a few fortunate feet away from dangers during adventures.
Anivails
Anivails have been genetically mutated over generations from exposure to the Aureum of the nature spirits they worship. Close contact to their magic and blessings from Genii have bestowed them with animalistic traits that have developed over thousands of years of evolution.

| Subrace. Every anivails connection to nature manifests as an Animal Aspect. Because animals can come in all shapes and sizes, Anivail come in a great variety of forms. Select one of the following sub-races to develop as your Animal Aspect. Remember, Animal Aspects not only influence your physiology, they also impact your personality. |
For the most part, anivails bear a striking resemblance to humans, in both form and function. But for most, it is easy to differentiate between the two because every anivail has an Animal Aspect. Every anivail is born with a deep connection to the beasts of the world, which each embodies in their Aspect, giving each Faunus traits of a specific beast. Animal aspects always manifest themselves physically, giving an Anivail one or more body parts reminiscent of their bonded animal, such as cat ears, monkey tails, deer antlers, chameleon skin, and so forth. Aspects also manifest in more minor ways, such as eye color and shape, general hairiness, or sharp teeth. Even personality is determined in some form by aspect; aspects of prey species are often shy and meek, those of bulls are often brash, and those of cats are independent and aloof.
