[I would just like to take a moment to thank @thecreaturecodex for bouncing ideas off and proofing this entry, I am thankful for her help.]

Dohwar This small penguin-like humanoid sports a glossy black and white feather coat with a colorful brow feathers.

Dohwars are a race of small, chubby, flightless avian resembling in many ways large penguins. Native to temperate and arctic coastal regions of a far off world, they are consummate merchants, viewing most interactions through a lens of mercantile exchange and contract. A dohwar refers to marriage partnership as a "merger" and their eggs as "new wares." A dohwar is constantly seeking new means of barter and exchange, a trait that either makes them endearing or grating depending on the individual dealing with the dohwar. Dohwar tend to loath violence, viewing it as a complete dissolution of ability to negotiate with others, but in case of the inevitable, prefer a support role, leaving combat to allies or mercenaries when combat arises.

This is an NPC in my dnd campaign, his name is plock. He's a ship merchant that the characters buy a ship off of (a spelljammering ship).
