Canis

Age - Canis reach maturity at the age of 16, and can live for as long as 80.   Alignment - Most Canis lean towards lawful, choosing to follow the hierarchy of the pack. The race as an entirety does not lean towards either good or evil, doing only what they perceive to be what is best for the pack.   Size - Canis stand between 4 and just below 7 feet tall, their stature varying because of their subspecies and upbringing. Their weight varies equally as much, ranging from 90 to 195 pounds. Your size is Medium.   Darkvision - You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.   Keen Hearing and Smell - You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.   Natural Weapons - Your jaws are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with a bite attack, you deal 1d4 + your Strength modifier piercing damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. In addition, you can choose to use a bonus action to attempt to drag an enemy prone when you hit with your bite attack. The target makes a Strength saving throw, the DC of which is 8 + Proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.   Languages - You can speak Common and Lupine. Lupine is a rough sounding language composed mostly of barks, howls and growls. This language is primarily used to deliver short orders such as "Stop!", "Retreat!", and "Charge!". Prolonged conversations between two Canis involve more body language and subtle shifts in expressions, punctuated by the occasional snippet of dialog in Lupine.   There are two subraces of Canis: the even-tempered Cordatus and the menacing Indomitus.   Cordatus   Ability Scores - +1 to your choice of Wisdom or Intelligence   Everyone's Best Friend - Domesticatus gain proficiency in the Persuasion skill if they don't already have it. If they are already proficient in the Persuasion skill, they may choose to be proficient in another skill. In addition, you can give yourself advantage on a Persuasion check against non-hostile creatures. You cannot use this trait again until you complete a short or long rest.   Indomitus   Ability Scores - +1 to your choice of Dexterity or Strength   Pack Hunting - Indomitus are known as deadly pack hunters, coordinating with their allies to take down even the most tenacious of foes. As an action, you can let out an inspiring howl. Choose 3 + Con modifier number of creatures that can hear you within 30 feet, those creatures can add half your proficiency modifier rounded down to their next attack or damage roll. You cannot use this trait again until you complete a short or long rest.
