dandwiki is not well regarded, since it's basically a repository for un-reviewed homebrew.

In this case, the race has some unobjectionable bits, and some very poorly defined bits. Like, can you "spend" more HP than you have? 5e doesn't kill you at 0 HP, and there are no negatives. What kind of action do you take for 1 hour to "grow a dermis" which lasts for 1 hour? Can you just constantly "grow a dermis" in the background, so you ignore the penalty?

The armor penalty doesn't matter for a well-rolled Barbarian, and the racial stats match up perfectly for a Barbarian, so I suspect this race was made by someone who wanted to play a Barbarian. The rage-centric quote at the very start would seem to be circumstantial evidence in support of this conjecture.

It's not the worst thing in the world, but it's not very good either.

Certainly not in comparison to the Za race:
