Welcome
Holstaur in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Holstaur
Created by the Archfey Holsarin from minotaurs who wandered into the Gilded Veil, holstaurs bear a few physical similarities with an impressive physique and similar legs and tail. Beyond that, the holstaurs’ similarities end there; as the minotaurs’ violent nature has been replaced with a nurturing demeanour, coat of a domestic cow and the face of a fey.
Holstaurs have earned a reputation for their gentle, friendly and all around caring disposition, they are revered as Valandros’s best shepherds and caretaker. Many have been observed adopting children from without being married
Age
Holstaurs age faster than humans, though their fey ancestry extends their lifespans and prevents the worse effects of frailty. Holstaurs reach adulthood at 15 years and on average can live up to 180 years.Alignment
