Creatures of Tyrra

- The fey seem to come from a plane parallel to our own. Some can be helpful, others are very malicious, but all seem to be out to have a good time at the expense of mortals. All fey appear to have the ability to charm someone much as a vampire can, though I have only seen them use it on someone who has angered them in one way or another. If truly enraged, a fey may bestow a curse upon its victim. The curses are not harmful, but are generally annoying and inconvenient, much like gypsy curses. Be very wary of bargains you make with the fey and remember, if one asks for your name say, "No, thank you. I'd like to keep it."

Type of Fae	Description	Intelligence:
Brownie	Brownies are among the more common of the fey. They resemble short brownish elves, but their ears are longer than an elf's and their noses are also long and sharp. They will often offer valuable items to mortals but will expect an item of similar worth in exchange. Give it to them, as it is worth the trouble. They may Charm you if you do not.
Darkkon	Shadowy, black creatures with glowing red eyes, that can emerge from reflective surfaces and are believed to be distant cousins of the fey. While some darkkon may still be around, the majority were defeated by the people of Tyrangel in 596. The fey aided in this fight by creating crystal golems to seek out and destroy the remaining darkkon. Some evidence suggests that the darkkon are allied with the fomori.
Dryad
Fomori	All fomori are slightly different, but all are horribly misshapen. They are the giants of the fey realm. The wizard king of the fomori is Balor. He has one eye in the center of his forehead that glows, somehow, darkly. His gaze has the ability to inflict Arcane Deaths on whosoever it falls upon. The greatest enemies of the fey, they have extended their deprivations to our realm. Some believe that the fey were first separated into Seleigh and Unseleigh when the formori stole the fey Cauldron of Life.
Incubus	Succubae and incubi are often called "lust elementals," but no one really seems to know exactly what manner of creature they are. Some people think they might be fey. They appear as attractive women or men, and they use their beauty and natural ability to Charm those who look into their eyes to seduce mortals and drain the life from them (much like a vampire). Many say that succubae and incubi are in a way addicted to the life essence they draw from their victims. If they go a long time without it, they may grow ill.
Imp	These creatures look very much like kobolds, only they are purple. If they have a culture or community, it remains undiscovered. They are extremely curious, which can be irritating, but they are generally friendly creatures.
King Oberon
Mushroom/Flower	Though they appear as normal growths, their circular formation gives an indication of their other worldly nature. They can speak, and each has a distinct personality. Each circle of mushrooms has a "spokes-mushroom." They can move from spot to spot. Most commonly seen during the summer months, and have the ability to expel gases if provoked. Travelers are warned not to thump the mushrooms.
Nighthob	These are very thin and tall. They have a horrible odor and very sharp teeth. Usually seen in the company of red caps, they are very fearsome fighters.
Nymph	A nymph appears as a beautiful human woman, much like a succubus, but unlike those creatures, they Charm handsome young men merely to lure them away to "frolic." They are not malevolent creatures and only wish to have fun and are not aware of the trouble they may sometimes cause. I have never seen one wield a weapon, but some are powerful casters.
Pooka	Pooka do not all look the same, but they are recognizable by their humanoid shape and animal features, like rabbit ears or bear-like faces or beaks. They tend to pick out a person at random and follow them around, sometimes proving helpful, but often merely getting in the way. If the pooka's chosen friend isn't grateful enough, its arms may suddenly grow long and pliable, enabling it to wrap itself around its victim and carry them off. Where the Pooka is trying to take its "friend" is not clear; the times this has occurred, the creature has always been cut down or the victim has used Barantur's Charm of Ogre Strength to escape.
Pixie
Queen Mab
Quickling	Quicklings may be a hybrid between the fey and air elementals. They greatly resemble brownies but are easily distinguished by their fast, constant movement. They possess incredible agility and can even sometimes escape binding spells. Strangely enough, when they are successfully confined, the inability to move seems to cause them pain. Quicklings often challenge citizens of Tyrangel to tests, such as dodging the Lightning Bolts the quicklings seem to be able to cast at will, or simple races across the field. Quicklings appear to be healed by lightning, and can sometimes be found in the company of cyclops.
Red Cap	Red caps, named for the blood red hats they wear and their gruesome origin, are the most annoying of the fey. They are very spiteful and go out of their way to get into fights. They are powerful creatures, with bodies as strong as those of saurians. Enchanted blades cannot harm them, strangely enough, though normal weapons can, and red caps possess immunity to all magic spells. They may strike to cause damage as if by a Cause Critical Wounds spell, or they may choose to Sleep, Paralyze, or Pin their victim. I would suggest that you avoid them, but their obnoxious nature makes that very hard to do.
Satyr	Satyrs are the male counterparts to nymphs, though they do not appear as handsome men. They possess the legs of goats and have horns atop their heads. While nymphs are generally innocent in their wish to have fun, the satyrs I have seen have been more cunning, actively seeking to Charm and kidnap beautiful women and steal them away forever.
Succubus	Succubae and incubi are often called "lust elementals," but no one really seems to know exactly what manner of creature they are. Some people think they might be fey. They appear as attractive women or men, and they use their beauty and natural ability to Charm those who look into their eyes to seduce mortals and drain the life from them (much like a vampire). Many say that succubae and incubi are in a way addicted to the life essence they draw from their victims. If they go a long time without it, they may grow ill.
Unicorn	Unicorns are shy and graceful horse-like animals with a single spiral horn. They possess the ability to heal or remove the taint of chaos from those they touch. Some whisper that there are also dark unicorns, and an "Anti-Unicorn", called the "Night Mare" has been seen in Tyrangel.
