Natural Weapons

You have natural weapons, such as horns, teeth or claws, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. When you hit with it, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning, slashing or piercing damage (choose when you pick this trait), instead of the damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Keen Senses

You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.

Restless

You do not need to sleep, nor can you be forced to sleep by magic.

When you take a long rest, you must spend at least four hours in an inactive, motionless state, rather than sleeping. In this state, you appear inert, but it doesn't render you unconscious, and you can see and hear as normal.

Ancient Lore

You have proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice; Arcana, History, Religion and Nature
