• Homo Exotis Physiology

Capabilities

Users of this ability can either mimic the traits of an exotic human (sometimes known as a mythic human), this term is not used for a species in itself so much as many relatives species - they are all linked by being fantastical variants of humanity itself: thus while they each have unique traits and powers they are also in essence a type of human, for this reason they are considered a different type of entity from traditional cryptids or fantastical beasts.

A great many of these creatures came from misunderstanding of other cultures or medieval caricatures of the world, in fiction it is not uncommon for "hidden" subspecies of humanity to exist - however care must be taken when adding "hidden peoples" to this category as it should be reserved for more fantastical human variants.
