Harengon

"Here and gone. Fey puns are a menace!" — Mordenkainen

Harengons originated in the Feywild, where they spoke Sylvan and embodied the spirit of freedom and travel. In time, these rabbitfolk hopped into other worlds, bringing the fey realm’s exuberance with them and learning new languages as they went.

Harengons are bipedal, with the characteristic long feet of the rabbits they resemble and fur in a variety of colors. They share the keen senses and powerful legs of leporine creatures and are full of energy, like a wound-up spring. Harengons are blessed with a little fey luck, and they often find themselves a few fortunate feet away from dangers during adventures.

Culture

Harengon are a social and gregarious race, and value their connections to family and community above all else. They typically live in tight-knit groups of extended family members, and are known for their lively and festive celebrations. They have a love for music and dance, and often incorporate these into their daily rituals and celebrations. Harengon are also known for their keen sense of humor, and enjoy practical jokes and playful teasing.

Appearance

Harengon have a unique and distinctive appearance that sets them apart from other races. They are covered in soft fur that ranges in color from bright oranges and yellows to more muted browns and grays. Their faces are characterized by large eyes, whiskers, and small, pointed ears that can rotate independently. Harengon are generally small and lightweight compared to other humanoids, but their lithe frames are deceptively strong.
