View source for Lonely Dvati (5e Subrace)

==== Lonely Dvati ====

In a race of twins, where one sibling cannot live long after the other's death, there is none more alien and pitied than one who was born alone. Typically born to sickly mothers, Lonely Dvati are the result of what is known in our world as Vanishing Twin Syndrome, where one twin miscarries and is absorbed into the surviving twin and mother. Lonely Dvati are the rarest Dvati subrace, occurring roughly in only one out of every ten thousand births.

Those Dvati that survive birth are larger and bulkier, their bodies strengthened by their lost twin so that one mortal coil can contain their powerful soul. As a side effect, however, Lonely Dvati are not as alone on the inside as they appear to other members of their race - Indeed, their twin lives on, two minds exist within one body. Their features are also more exaggerated; Their heads are larger, and their eyes are also rather large. Other random features are typically accentuated, such as longer arms or legs, or they may have more body hair or curvier forms than others. Overall, they look misshapen and deformed, but also strong and tough. However, woe to those who mistake them for a dumb brute.
