Muppetborn

A proud and silly race, Muppetborn are chaotic creatures known for innate magical abilities. Born appearing as small balls of cloth, they quickly develop into creatures that resemble humans, animals, and even monsters...but that doesn’t make them evil. Easily spotted by their colorful furs, most Muppetborn who live outside their clans or “Streets” frequently find themselves uninvited from “proper” civilization due to their odd habits. But really, is it a party without a Muppetborn swinging from the chandelier?

Many Muppetborn resemble animals. From birth, they have an advantage on animal handling checks with the animals they resemble and can communicate with them. At 3rd level, they can communicate with similar types of animals, and can also cast Beast Bond once per short or long rest without using a spell.

Always Obscured

No matter how you look at them, a Muppetborn’s bottom half is always out of view. It’s said that even when one stands in the middle of a field, the earth will rise up to meet them. For this reason, they are always considered to have half cover and receive a permanent +2 bonus to AC.  

The Hand

Muppetborn mythology speaks of The Hand inside each of them. They innately know the cantrip Mage Hand, however, the floating hand can only lift up to five pounds and move up to five feet per character level.  

Nom Nom Nom

Muppetborn absorb the energy from food without ever having to swallow it.  

Cloth and Color

All muppetborn know the cantrip "Mending" and once per long rest, it can be used to heal 1d8 hitpoints. This increases to twice per long rest at 5th level, three times at 10th level, four times at 14th level, and five times at 18th level.
The appearances and sizes of muppetborn are wildly varied between them all.
