Abomination, Variant (5e Race)

Abominations are taller and heavier than their parents, but remain the same size. Abominations have a pair of large antlers growing out of their heads, making it impossible for them to wear hats or helmets not specially designed for them. They also have a layer of skin over their eyes, and their ears are rather large and sensitive in compensation so as to allow echolocation. Abominations also have bee-like antennae growing out of their foreheads, a bee-like abdomen and stinger with a potent poison, and bee’s wings. Their tongues are far too long and wide to contained inside of their mouths, and hang down to their waists. Abominations have four fully-functional arms, instead of two. Their upper-right arm is covered in vines and leaves stemming from the shoulder. In place of their upper-left arm is a long and slimy purple tentacle, with suckers lining the underside of the tentacle. Their two lower arms have claws in place of fingers, making it difficult for them to use those hands for anything other than fighting. An Abomination’s bones are large and sharp, and stick out of their skin in numerous places, making it impossible for them to wear armor that is not specially designed to accommodate their bones.

Abominations are not a Race in the conventional sense of the word. Any Abominations in existence are simply the offspring of one or more beings afflicted with the disease known as “Random Change”. They have no true “history”, other than that one or both of their parents were infected with this disease by a Slaad.

Abominations are almost unfailingly rejected, discriminated against, and looked down on by the rest of the world. Due to this, they are largely solitary, and rarely join groups of other creatures. However, due to their effectiveness in combat, many adventuring parties seek them, despite the prejudice and stigma attached to them.

Antlers. Two large antlers grow out of your head, making it impossible to wear hats and helmets not designed for your antlers. If you move 10 or more feet in a straight line towards an opponent before attacking, you may use your antlers to make an Unarmed Strike as your Attack Action. This attack 1d6+STR Piercing Damage, unless your Unarmed Strike Die is higher. If you hit, your target must make a Strength Saving Throw (DC=8+STR+PROF) or be knocked prone.

You have antennae, which give you Blindsight out to 15 ft and allow you to locate all flowers within 500 ft of yourself. You have wings, which grant you a flying speed of 30 ft.

Your Unarmed Strikes with these hands deal 1d8+STR Slashing Damage, unless your Unarmed Strike Die is higher.
