Koala Kin

Koala Kin
 
  Sentient koala bear with prehensile tail. Culture is like a primitive tribal culture. Possible racial bonus to nature and survival checks in native terrains. It is said that their shamans are able to cast the Plant Growth spell as ritual using their blood as a ritual component. This quality of their blood causes anything biting them or consuming their blood to take a necrotic poison effect. It's a symbiotic mycelium that grows in their blood. Causes the Koala Kin to need to eat twice as much as anyone else their size, but in return they recover much faster than other creatures. Their rests are half as long as humans, both short and long rests. Their blood can be used with a successful DC 17 Alchemy or Herbalism check to make a drug that grants the increased appetite and improved rest time benefits. Long term use causes madness. Any race immune to poison is unaffected by this drug except for a mild mood elevating effect that wears off in an hour. Dwarves are known to brew ales and Bourbons with the blood infused in it on purpose for that effect.
