From publisher blurb:
Previously released, but reimagined and expanded into a fully comprehensive document, the Hanyou is a plane touched half-yokai race that are humanoids born from yokai and their influence. These beings have a variety of unique, often animalistic traits, and the document discusses their perspectives and place in the world, as well as the role of yokai in Somnus Domina. Yokai serve as fiends tied to the Shadowfell, who feed off of tragedy and negativity, and when they find themselves deprived of food seek to create more themselves.
Contents
This bundle is meant to introduce the half-yokai race, the Hanyou, as well as offer a variety of options for players who wish to use them, and DMs who wish to include them as NPCs. The content should provide a widely varied experience that can be used to generate dozens of Hanyou NPCs, as well as options such as subclasses that can be used for characters that aren't Hanyou. The following are included:

Five yokai NPCs
The following are basic breakdowns of the subclasses contained within the product, all of which are themed after invoking or combating the fiendish nature of yokai but are not limited to use with the Hanyou.
Cleric - Channeler
Clerics who find themselves in service of the gods of shadow and darkness, or those who tread the line between fiendish and the divine. Those who act as clerics of daiyokai and archfiends may find themselves channeling powerful demonic abilities.
Fighter - Deuvil Dragoon
Trained to fight beasts who could stay normally out of reach, the deuvil dragoons were once trained by the Cu Chullian Shadarkai to leap through the battlefield and swarm massive enemies.
Petal Knight - Red Spider Lily
Touched by something otherworldly, the red spider lily epithet manifests powers similar to those of a fiend. They use the discord they have been cursed with to establish order in nature but often find themselves living in a world apart from those around them.
Sorcerer - Yokai Bloodline
Natural arcanists who have blood or influence that can be traced back to yokai or daiyokai. They understand the world of friends naturally and can channel their powers from it for their own purposes.
Sword Saint - Way of the Half-Breed
Teachings based on a dog Hanyou who lived long ago, and carved out a name for himself by turning away from his demonic impulses and choosing to side with his love for humanity. The warriors who follow in those footsteps learn to replicate the techniques used by that unique Hanyou.
This document includes their Sword Saint Weapon, the Cleaving Steel Fang, an artifact-rarity greatsword.
Warlock - The Daiyokai
These warlocks make a pact with a daiyokai, gaining powers similar to their lord and becoming like a hanyou themselves. Channeling the demonic power of their patron, they serve as agents and spies among their kind.
This document includes 5 Eldritch Invocationsmeant for the Daiyokai Warlock.
Wizard - School of Deamoturgy
Studying the magics of the demonic, these wizards tap into dark powers their colleagues may consider dangerous, but they are sure to keep their studies purely academic. However, for many, the temptation to give in to the living magics they learn is difficult to resist.
