Beasts of the Feywild
The Feywild is a realm saturated with bizarre and mysterious magic. This very magic imbues the essence of the land itself as well as its inhabitants. As a result, the Feywild is home to some very alluring, bizarre, and frightening creatures; oftentimes possessing each of these qualities simultaneously. It is believed that some creatures are not entirely native to the Feywild but rather became stranded or trapped due to interplanar incursions. As a result, these creatures have become warped versions of their original forms.
Carbuncle
Carbuncles are a common sight in the Feywild. These small creatures have a somewhat chimeric appearance dispalying features from multiple different creatures. It isbelieved that the coloration of each carbuncle is unique and represents the temperment of the carbuncle. However, their most common characteristics tend to be in a tailed quadrapedal form and a luminescent jewel-like protrusion on its forehead. This protrusion is actually not a jewel, but rather a natural growth made of a bone-like material that resembles a crystal. Its structure allows the carbuncle to sense magical energy, which is important in a magically volatile place such as the Feywild. It also serves a a defense mechanism that draws in excessive arcane energy and redirects it back at its source.
This crystalline growth also has another function that allows the carbuncle to form an emphatic and telepathic link with another creature. Oftentimes, these creatures use this ability to play practical pranks on trespasser or individuals of interest. This ability makes them prized familiar for spellcasters. However, because of their skittish and free spirited nature, it is rare for one the form a permanent bond with a carbuncle. They only forge such as permanent bond with creatures they absolutely trust and are prone to sever the bond when mistreated or loses interest.
Because of these abilities, carbuncles are often endangered by poachers, smugglers, and arcanists. Thankfully their ability to shapeshift, teleport, and turn invisible provides them ample means of escaping and avoiding danger. Additionally, numerous druids, Fey, and other guardians of the Feywild fiercely protect these creatures from anyone who wishes to do them harm.
Carbuncle Tactics
Carbuncles are very peaceful and social creatures residing in large groups of up to 20. Oftentimes, one may not know they encounter a carbuncle as they spend a lot of times in a shapeshifted form living amongst groups of normal animals. They tend to be very curious creatures trying to learn more about individuals that catch their interest. They usually do this through harmless pranks by speaking telepathically with a creature.
If the carbuncle believes it can trust a creature, it will reveal its true form. However, at the first sight of danger, it will flee making use of its teleportation and invisibility.
Akhlut
The akhlut is a terrifying predator from the Feywild that patrols frigid environments in search of prey. The akhlut is a bizarre creature, resembling the mixture between a whale and a wolf. The most common variant seems to be a cross between a colossal wolf and a killer whale although other variants resembling different species of whales or dolphins have been reported. They have a unique ability to transform from a whale into a large whale-wolf hybrid. Because of this ability, akhluts are therians which are creatures that have the ability to shift into different forms. Before therianthorpy passed to humanoids, creatures known as therians had the ability to change their form. Their ability to shapeshift makes them unpredicable threats. Many ships have fallen prey to their pods as seemingly friendly whale that swim alongside the vessel rapidly transform into ravenous beasts that rip art the crew. Between their sheer strength, surprising speed, and supernatural resilience, these creatures would be seemingly unstoppable if not for their weakness to fire. Akhluts despise fire for open flames seem to temporarily poison them weakening them for a short period of time. However, given enough time or large enough numbers, akhluts are willing to brave their fear of fire if they truly desire their prey enough.
Akhlut Tactics
Akhluts are deadly hunters hunting in pods of 5 (2d4). These creatures are immensely dangerous and often serve as the apex predators of their respective hunting grounds. They resilience against normnal weapons allows them to shrug off most attacks from prey and rivals. Additionally, they have an uncanny ability to seeming disappear in the presence of snowfall. Because of this ability, they love to hunt during snowstorms and blizzards. However, their deadliest weapon is their chilling breath which turns its prey into ice which is their preferred for of devouring prey.
While hunting underwater, akhluts rely of different tactics in their whale form. They prefer to use their large size to incapacitate prey while the rest of the pods dives for the kill. When hunting large groups of prey, it uses its sonic pulse to quickly stun all its prey while it picks them apart with ease.
Cheshire
The Cheshire is an iconic inhabitant of the Feywild and seems to share an inexplicable connection to bad luck. In its true form, the cheshire resembles a large cat with brightly colored fur that almost seems to possess a psychadelic appearance to it. However, its most disturbing features are its oversized face, glowing eyes, and exaggerated toothy maw. It is believed that they fur has the magical property to change fate. The are reports that when the cheshire was targeted with deadly blows, its assailant seemingly impaled itself with its own blade while spellcasters had their spells redirected back at them. Many hunters and arcanists hunt these creature for their magical pelts; however, few ever return while those who survive recall tales of bad fortune and a nightmarish creature with the jaws the size of an adult humanoid.
Cheshire Tactics
Despite their appearance, cheshires are very elusive but malevolent predators reveling in the opportunity to lure unsuspecting prey to its doom. Often shapeshifting as a normal cat, cheshires tend to approach unsuspecting humanoids as a curious but friendly cat. As it is socializing, it attempts to spread its jinx curse to as many creatures as possible while luring it away from safety. If creatures are in a group, it attempts to separate the group using its ability to shapeshift and turn invisible causing them to get lost, which can be quite easy in the Feywild. Then it proceeds to slowly pick each creature one by one using its hypnotic eyes and psychadelic fur to incapacitate its quarry. They it proceeds to feast on its prey using its oversized jaws.
When overwhelmed, it can make a quick escape thanks to its ability to redirect spells, teleport, and turn invisible.
Peryton
It is believed that certain species of the peryton actually originated from the Feywild. Perytons tend to resemble large winged beasts with sharp antlers of its head. Its appearance seems to resemble the head of a deer, wolf, or owl like creature. Because of their unnatural appearance, they have the ability to strike fear in the hearts of its prey. Creatures frightened by it seem to lose functionality of its limbs. Humanoids are particularly vulnerable to its gaze as they are the preferred prey of perytons. Because of this, perytons are often hunted to the point where than can only be found in the most remote wilderness. Otherwise, they will begin to flock around human settlements and towns swooping down picking off prey at their leisure.
Peryton Tactics
Perytons are formiddable predators using their unsettling appearance to their advantage. Before swooping down, they tend to circle overhead invoking fear on its prey. Once immobilized, it swoops down shredding into its quarry. If its prey is seemingly unaffected, it will repeatedly harry its prey using its surprising agility to fly out of its quarries reach before preparing for another dive.
Bandersnatch
The bandersnatch is arguably the dominant predator of the Feywild only rivaled by the Jabberwock. In fact, these two creatures have a violent hatred between both creatures engaging in legendary battles to the death upon encountering one another. The bandersnatch resembles a lithe six legged wolverine like creature covered with bristling spines similar to that of a porcupine. However, the most unnerving thing abount these creatures are their immense size, dwarfing some dragons on the Material Plane. Despite their colossal size, their are unnaturally stealthly, easily blending into the alien forests of the Feywild. They are also known as for their furious temper that grants them supernatural speed to react to any threat. Additionally, its fury seems to heightened its natural regeneration allowing it to shrug off harmful affects in mere seconds. However, it best defense is its quilled hide that it can use to throw sickening quills at its opponent. In addition to these quills, its hide has the innate property to reflect certain spells sending it back at the caster. The greatest weapon of the bandersnatch is is eyes. Its large luminous eyes can cause its prey to seize up and unable to move allowing the bandersnatch to swiftly move in for the kill.
Bandersnatch Tactics
If being such a powerful predator in its own right made it dangerous creature; to make things worse, bandersnatches tend to by pack hunter typically in packs of 5(2d4). Packs of bandersnatch are nearly unstoppable challenging any prey that they see fit. Once they chose their quarry, the bandersnatch will not give up the hunt unless it is killed or its prey is captured. Because of its hunting prowess, Bandersnathces are often idolized by members of the Wild Hunt which tame packs of Bandersnatch for their Hunt Lords to ride into battle.
Jabberwock
The jabberwock is probably the most terrifying of all creatures in the Feywild. Due to its appearance, they are often confused for dragons, even to the point wherein some believe that the Jabberwock were dragons that got exposed to the Feywild. However, jabberwocks seem to lack the level of sapience that most dragons possess. Its true origins are unclear as many believe they may the creation of powerful archfey or hags while others believe they are an apex specimen from the Feywild ecosystem. Although they seem to be rather animalistic in nature, they possess the ability to learn at a quick rate and are capable of understand speech and read emotions. This intelligence makes them extremely dangerous as well. They have an natural resilience against conventional weapons, magical effects and the mind altering affects of the Fey Wild. However, their deadlies abilities are their ability to turn invisible and their eyes. Depending on the type of jabberwock, it abilities can differ. Most jabberwocks seem to show an affinity to certain magical elements of the Feywild. For example, some jabberwocks have the ability to create illusory doubles of itself while others seem to connect to the frigid magics of the Unseelie. Other jabberwocks have evolved to hunt specific prey in the Feywild such as the Witchfire that can counter invisibility and the moon jabberwock that prefers to hunt shapeshifters.
Mixed with their cunning and wide variety of abilities, jabberwocks are nigh impossible to defeat. However, it seems to display an innate fear to vorpal weapons. The connection between these weapons and jabberwocks is not entirely clear but it may shed light onto the origins of these strange monstrosities.
Jabberwock Tactics
The jabberwock is a very intelligent hunter using its wide array of abilities at its disposal. While searching for prey, jabberwocks prefer to mask their presence while stalking its prey waiting to the best chance to strike. It tends to eliminate large threats with its eye rays while swooping down to grasp weaker targets with its unnaturally long claws. If then proceeds to let gravity do the rest while it proceeds to harry any surviving targets with its eye rays. If at all possible, a jabberwock will rarely fight on the ground if possible. Even though its physical prowess provides its many advantages in melee combat, it is in its element while airborne raining destruction on its quarry. When overwhelmed, it will not hesitate to retreat using the encounter as a lesson in order for it to accordingly stage a secondary attack.
Because of its intelligence, they make suitable minions for hags and archfey for their are able to complete complex tasks. It would not be appropriate to state that these entities tame jabberwocks; instead it is a mutual arrangement. OFtentimes, they are provided food, secure hunting grounds, and protection for its young while it serves the needs of its master. However, their intelligence makes their loyalty much harder to acquire as they will not tolerate a one-sided relationship, quickly leaving or violent if it feels as if it is taken advantage of.
