Size Medium
Speed 40 ft.

Age. Cynocephali mature and live roughly the same lifespan as humans.   Alignment. Cynocephali are most commonly lawful creatures due to their society, being made up of hunter-gatherer tribes set up with strict rules to ensure survival.   Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.   Keen Hearing and Smell. You are proficient in Wisdom (Perception) checks and have advantage on these checks when relying on hearing or smell.   Pack Tactics. You have advantage on an attack roll against a creature if at least one of your allies is within 5 feet of the creature and your ally isn't incapacitated.   Bite. When making an unarmed attack, you may instead bite the target for (1d4 + your Dexterity modifier) piercing damage, rather than the standard bludgeoning damage. You are considered proficient with this action.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Cynocephalus. Cynocephalus sounds like a series of barks and other similar canine noises, which is difficult for other races to learn, yet particularly easy to speak.
