#that’s the name she uses bc cowfolk don’t have last names so she just said the technical name of her home

SO MANY IDEAS FOR MY NEXT DND CHARACTER

her name is clover she’s a cowfolk druid

it’s a race i homebrewed basically just think cow satyrs

she lives in The Pasture

that’s all the cowfolk know it as

on maps it’s called Dappled Pasture and it’s in the Wandering Wood

it’s called that because whenever a child is born, the herd goes to the easternmost side of the forest and plants a tree for the child

then when a person dies, they’re buried at the base of their tree

and there’s a human settlement on the western side of the forest and they log the trees

so the forest is gradually moving eastward

clover’s druidic focus is her flower crown

the family structure of the pasture is very similar to a wild herd

many women, not many men, LOTS of kids

so clover has a lot of cousins and younger siblings

also in The Pasture they speak a dialect of minotaur as their native language so common is actually clover’s second language

actually third bc druidic

anyway

so because of the structure of The Pasture there’s a lot of words in common that clover doesn’t know

like the word “thief”

cowfolk share everything so the concept of stealing doesn’t exist

so she gets in trouble a lot for just taking what she needs

but she also doesn’t do frivolities

and she doesn’t GET money which is helpful because i don’t understand dnd money

anyway i imagine the impetus for the adventure is something’s wrong in The Pasture whether it’s illness or the trees are being cut down too fast or something

ALSO the humans don’t know about the cowfolk

the Wandering Woods is known to be a magical place with a very thin separation from the feywild and so people generally avoid it

so the cowfolk are pretty much unknown

and clover is going out having never before seen anyone not from her herd

also i like to imagine the party has to sneak in somewhere and make it look like clover’s a human

but she has literal cow ears and legs and a cow tail and little horns and brown splotches all over her skin

i have concept art somewhere i think but it’s not good.

anyway

they have to pass her off as human and so she winds up wearing a giant long skirt to cover her legs and tail and they make her tie her ears up and wear a hood or a bonnet or something idk it’s just a really funny idea to me

why is this tiny little cow satyr filling so much of my brain i love her
