Charge. If the actaeon moves at least 20 feet straight towards a target and then hits it with a ram attack on the same turn, the target takes an extra 7 (2d6) damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 17 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Magic Resistance. The actaeon has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Magic Weapons. The actaeon’s weapon attacks are magical.

Innate Spellcasting. The actaeon’s spellcasting trait is Charisma (spell save DC 17). It can innately cast the following spells without the need for material components:
 At will: beast sense, druidcraft
 3/day each: conjure animals, detect magic, goodberry, locate creature
 1/day each: commune with nature, conjure woodland beings, druid grove, wall of thorns, wrath of nature

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the actaeon fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Shapechanger. The acteaon can use its action to polymorph into a elk or giant elk or back into its true form. Its statistics, other than its size, are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wear or carrying is absorbed or borne by the new form (the actaeon’s choice). It reverts to its true form if it dies.

Speak With Beasts. The actaeon can communicate with beasts as if they shared a language.

Woodland Adaptation. While in a forest, the actaeon’s movement isn’t hindered by difficult natural terrain features and it has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) rolls made to hide.

Actions

Multiattack (True Form Only). The acteaon makes two spear attacks.

Hooves (Giant Elk Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, Reach 5 ft., one prone creature. Hit. 9 (2d4+3) bludgeoning damage.

Ram. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, Reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6+4) bludgeoning damage

Spear (True Form Only). Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, Reach 10 ft. or Range 30/60 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6+4) piercing damage, or 13 (2d8+4) piercing damage if wielded in both hands.

Transforming Breath (Recharge 6). The actaeon breathes gas in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature is transformed into a beast of CR 1 or lower for 1 minute. Its game statistics are replaced by those of the beast’s. At the end of this time, an affect creature may make a second Wisdom saving throw, reverting to its true form on a success. On a failure, it remains transformed for 24 hours, after which it may make a third saving throw. On a failure, the creature remains in beast form permanently. A remove curse ends the effect at any time.

Legendary Actions

The actaeon can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The actaeon regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

 Detect. The actaeon makes a Wisdom (Perception) check or a Wisdom (Insight) check.
 Move. the actaeon moves up to its speed without provoking opportunity attacks.
 Fierceness (Costs 2 Actions). The actaeon makes a ram or spear attack.
 Cast a Spell (Costs 3 Actions). The actaeon casts a spell.

Bajang

In this fey’s natural form, a bajang looks something like a gnarled halfling with lipless, unsmiling mouths and vulture’s talons in place of hands and feet. They can change their form into that of a lynx-like forest cat or a tremendous polecat, but in all of their forms they retain their bright-orange, slit-pupiled eyes.
 Tree-Bound. In much the same way as a dryad’s life is bound to a tree, so is a bajang’s. It is fiercely protective of this tree—it lacks the dryad’s ability to charm victims into protecting the tree, and has to rely on trickery and violence instead. A bajang’s tree are usually deep within thick forests and jungles and thus difficult to find, but it doesn’t wait for loggers to find it. Instead, the bajang seeks out potential sources of danger and either kills them, curses them, intimidates them into leaving, or tricks them into believing that the tree is sacred.

The forests and jungles around a bajang’s tree are always more dismal than they should be: the plants seem more prone to rot, the animals quieter and more skittish.

Birthed from Ruin. A bajang is born in forests where battles raged, foul cults sacrificed sentients, or where pregnant women and infants were murdered. If the death-blood is spilled on tree roots, the tree absorbs the blood and some of the spirits as well, and the tree forms a burl. Inside the burl, the murdered spirits boil and fester, mingling with the spirit of the tree itself, until eventually, the burl bursts open and a bajang crawls out. The hole in the tree becomes the bajang’s home.

Generational Familiars. Bajang have been known to ally with spellcasters. They act as familiars, providing aid and information in exchange for protection, shiny trinkets (they see these items more as a trophy of its own cleverness than as an item of monetary value), and their favorite foods: fresh fruit, eggs, milk, and humanoid blood. It will also not-so-subtly attempt to get the spellcaster to pass its skills down to the next generations, and then ally with the younger spellcasters as well; the more spellcasters it works with, the more protection it has and the more payment it receives.

Boowray

A boowray looks like a beautiful, translucent child, barely a foot tall. It is as naked and sexless as a doll and has mint leaves for hair; although otherwise intangible, it smells faintly of sweet mint. Its shy, winning smile and large, luminous eyes hide a cruel and sadistic heart.
 Suggestive Whispers. Also called a whispering spirit, a boowray takes delight in corrupting the innocent and inspiring good people to commit evil. It targets lonely and naïve people, such as children who turn to imaginary friends because they lack real ones, or people who think the fey are all good and happy storybook creatures and wish to befriend them. They use their magical abilities to charm the victim, planting suggestions that the victim perform specific evil deeds.

The fey suggests nothing too vile at first, but eventually, as the victim’s will erodes, the requests become more and more evil. As the victim, unaware of the corruptive magic influencing it, seeks to justify its evil deeds and cover up for their crimes, its moral boundaries start to slip. Eventually, the once-innocent person turns truly evil and the boowray congratulates itself on a job well done.

Weak. Boowrays are physically weak and incapable of interacting with the real world. If faced with danger, a boowray will flee. Although it doesn’t like the idea of giving up on a job before its target completes its slide into evil, it will if it means the difference between its life or death.

Fey Nature. A boowray doesn't need to eat or drink.

Dazzle

In their natural form, dazzles look like beautiful, nearly angelic-looking humanoids with glowing skin and eyes and wings made of feathered light. This beauty hides a hungry and manipulative heart.
 Dazzles can disguise themselves as nearly any type of humanoid (and are egotistical enough to make sure that all of their disguises are very attractive). When disguised, their wings vanish. They consider the lack of flight to be fair price for their ability to walk in a city among the throngs of humanity.

Urban Fey. Unlike many fey, dazzles care absolutely nothing for the wilderness. They are city-fey, through-and-through. For them, the rush of a city's market place is far more alluring than any forest could ever be, and the wonders created by humans interest them far more than any produced in the Feywild. In addition, the larger number of people in a city makes it easier for them to escape unwanted attention, since there are fewer people to realize that the dazzle is present nearly every time a fight breaks out.

Emotion-Eaters. Dazzles feed on the energies produced by humans experiencing strong base emotions. Although they feed on mental energy, their emotional vampirism causes no ill effects by itself, except, perhaps, slight tiredness. The methods they use to create those emotions can have a devastating effect on a community, since dazzles rely on starting fights and causing anger.

To promote such emotions, dazzles have a variety of magical abilities. They use their illusions and enchantments to start fights and cause ill will between humanoids, and do so in a way to make it seem as though someone else was the magic's originator. A favored tactic is to mimic a person's voice while using vicious mockery, or even while simply insulting another creature, while hiding out of sight and letting someone else take the blame. And when their magic fails, they are so naturally charming that they are capable of talking their way out of nearly anything.

Feydrake

A feydrake resembles a human-sized dragon with tiny wings and no forelimbs. Its scaly hide is typically rich brown, deep forest green, or porcelain white, spotted with a myriad of other colors. Each felldrake are capable of shapeshiting into a single humanoid form, potentially as a result of its fey heritage.

Chaotic Nature. Feydrakes travel in small groups, to which they are quite loyal. But other than those groups, they are whimsical creatures who do what they like. They are thrill-seekers and, often, thieves, who get a kick out of stealing the most interesting objects they can and meddling in other societies. While some of them are deeply selfish and cause problems just because they enjoy watching other people suffer, others of them work to undermine corrupt organizations and governments, or just to shake things up and see what will happen.

Feyborn. Feydrakes come originally from the Feywild, and must return their to breed with other feydrakes. However, they prefer the Material Plane to the Feywild—they enjoy being able to pull the wool over the eyes of normal humans.

Wanderers and Travelers. Feydrakes spend much of their time in humanoid form, traveling from settlement to settlement, stealing what they can and enjoying their freedom. They rarely settle down for any length of time—even if they wanted to, their chaotic nature means that they are likely to eventually get run out of town.

Unlike most other dragons, feydrakes are a fairly randy people. While not very fertile with humanoids, liaisons between the two do occasionally produce children. These children are like their humanoid parent rather than like their feydrake parent, but carry a drop of dragon’s blood in them, which often manifests as sorcery. Many a dragon-blood sorcerer have assumed that their powers originated from a mighty great wyrm and would be quite embarrassed to learn that they instead came from a horny feydrake.

Fir

Fir are disturbing to look at, because they resemble human babies with oversized heads and with small claws on their long, clever fingers. Their eyes sparkle with a knowing, magical glimmer. It’s even more disturbing when they change their shape into that of a rodent but still have that same glimmer in their eyes.

Clockwork Fey. Fir are perhaps the most mechanically inclined of all fey, capable of creating wonders far beyond what mortal artificers can. An object created by a fir looks like a normal device, but is capable of performing actions that no mundane object should be able to—and yet the device isn’t at all magical.

A fir might create a toy dragon out of wood that can breathe fire, even though it has no flint or tinder or well for oil or alchemist’s fire; a simple ear trumpet that allows the listener to hear all languages translated into her own; a prosthetic limb that’s as flexible as a real one and can allow the wearer to even feel through it; or even a mechanical child that moves and seems to even think like a person.

Double-Edged Swords. Many fir are good natured, but just as many are cruel. All of them are egotistical. They may grant a person a gift of one of their “little toys,” but if that person isn’t properly thankful or ends up misusing the object or trying to gift it to someone else, he’ll discover that it will turn on him. And someone who dares to steal a fir’s creation is certain to meet a grizzly end.

Hags

Silat

These desert-dwelling hags are ten-feet-tall and have pale blue or green skin and darker blue or green hair. They have long, curved ram’s horns that grow a complete spiral after every century of life. Their yellowed teeth and nails are harder and sharpened than obsidian. They typically wear rags that only barely cover their bodies.

Miss Manners. Silats desire little more than to be left alone. Most of the time, they disguise themselves as extremely ugly humans, in the hopes that their appearance will cause others to avoid them. When they are forced to interact with others, and whenever in a civilized location, they display highly refined manners and demand respect in return. Those who refuse to act appropriately towards them are subject to the silat’s wrath.

Always Hungry. A silat roams the desert and desert cities, constantly on the search for food. They will eat anything, but prefer fresh, bloody meat, especially that of humanoids. Despite that, they are excellent cooks.

Silat Covens. A coven with one or more silat can add the following spells to its spell list: invisibility (2nd level), major image (3rd level), and polymorph (4th level).

 At will: chill touch
 3/day each: blight, ray of sickness, vampiric touch

Actions

Multiattack. The ash witch uses her Weakening Gaze and then attacks with her broom.

Broom. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, Reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d6+5) bludgeoning damage, or 9 (1d8+5) bludgeoning damage if held in two hands, plus 5 (1d10) necrotic damage.

Weakening Gaze. The ash witch targets a creature within 30 feet of her. If that creature can see the ash witch, it must make a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or have disadvantage on Strength, Wisdom, and Charisma ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws until the start of its next turn.

Essence of Ash (Recharge 5-6). The ash witch fires a 15-foot cone of poisonous ashes. All creatures in that area must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 10 (3d6) necrotic damage, or half as much damage on a successful save. If the saving throw fails, a creature is cursed with the wasting essence of ashes for 1 minute. While cursed, the target can’t regain hit points, and at the end of each of its turns, the target’s hit point maximum is reduced by 5 (1d10).

Sunlight Sensitivity. While in sunlight, the ash child has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

Innate Spellcasting. The hannya’s spellcasting trait is Charisma (spell save DC 13). She can innately innately cast the following spells, without the need for material components:
 At will: animal friendship (snakes only)
 3/day each: detect thoughts, suggestion

Shapechanger. The hannya can use her action to polymorph into a specific Medium human or back into its true form. Her statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment she is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. She reverts to her true form if it dies.

Actions

Multiattack. The hannya uses her constrict attack, and then bites.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, Reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d4+3) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, taking 7 (2d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Constrict. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, Reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6+3) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 13). Until this grapple ends, the creature is restrained, and the hannya can’t constrict another target.

Ijiraq

Ijiraqs are protectors of the tundra. They are as merciless and mysterious as a winter’s blizzard. In their true forms, they look like hunched-over humanoids, their faces covered with a mask made of an elk’s skull; their true faces are unknown. They wear heavy fur coats and necklaces made of leather and scrimshawed ivory.

Ijiraq appear only when they wish to. Most of the time, theycan be seen only of the corner of the eye for just a fleeting moment, then vanish again. They can be quite cruel, bringing doom to those who would despoil their chosen territory.

Leading Astray. The irijaq’s gaze causes even experienced travelers to become lost—to the fey’s victim, the world seems to twist and warp and become unreal, and even normally well-known landmarks become unfamiliar. When confronted with a group of travelers, the irijaq will typically charm the group’s pathfinder and let that person lead his or her group to its demise as they become hopelessly lost. Only if this doesn’t work will the ijiraq actually attack.

However, like the weather, they are unpredictable and can be kind as well, and will sometimes choose to help a person. There is no apparent rhyme or reason to whom they choose to aid; it appears entirely random. One day, an ijiraq might do everything in its power to destroy a party of hunters and trappers; the next day, it might lead them (or at least the survivors) to a place where game and shelter are both plentiful. The day after that, it may finish the job and kill the remaining people.

Guardians. The arctic and sub-arctic climes where ijiraq dwell are, like deep swamps and the deepest parts of the Underdark, known as places where strange and eldritch and tainted things sometimes gather. As guardians of the purity of nature, ijiraq fight to keep those strange entities out.

Leshii

A leshii is a dangerous forest spirit that acts as the personification of nature’s wild unpredictability. It resembles a large, brawny satyr with shaggy fur, wild and tangled hair and beard, and startling, emerald-green eyes. Those who live in or near a forest claimed by a leshii are wise to leave it gifts and try to placate it, because leshii are tricksters. They often appear as animals and in that form watch intruders, looking for any moment of weakness. Although not evil, they are as unkind as nature itself.

Bargain-Strikers. Leshii are known for striking bargains with morals, agreeing to do some minor task in exchange for goods or services. A leshii will use magic or simple intimidation to get the other to do what it wants. Fortunately, their demands are usually simple, such as requesting treats—but they are not above kidnapping or stealing in order to fulfill their half of the bargain.

Lone Guardians. Except in the very largest of forests, there are never more than a single leshii in any particular woodlands. They either can’t or won’t leave the boundaries of their forest, either. They don’t reproduce in the way of other creatures; should one die, a new one will appear, born out of the earth and plants. It’s rumored that they sometimes mate with dryads and other female fey but can only sire satyrs or korreds. Whether this is true or not, those creatures frequently refer to leshii as “Father Forest.”

Midnight Cat

There are many superstitions about cats: that they plot against their owners, that they can see ghosts, that they can bring bad luck, that they can suck the breath out of babies. The midnight cat is the reason for these superstitions.
 Midnight cats look like normal felines with luxurious fur and luminous green or gold eyes. They are normally black-furred, but a rare few are snow-white in color with blue eyes--unlike real cats with this color-combination, white midnight cats are never deaf (but they sometimes fake it).

Bad Cats. Midnight cats demand pampering and bring ruin to those who fail to deliver it. They are capable of laying magical curses on people--and even entire towns--that displease them.

Their curses are often insidious but can also be quite showy--it depends entirely on their mood, and midnight cats are notoriously mercurial. Most of the time, though, midnight cats act like normal cats, so only the superstitious think to blame them for their misfortunes.

Master of Curses. As good as they are at laying curses, midnight cats also excel at removing them. As such, they are much in demand by those suffering from a magical affliction. Midnight cats demand much from those that they heal from curses.

Breath-Stealers. These cats feed on the breath they steal from others. While they demand the most delicious foods from others, they only truly need to consume breath.

Oread

Kin to the dryads, an oread is a spirit of stone who is bound to a mountain, cliff, or tor. Like their forest cousins, all oreads are female. An oread resembles a beautiful woman with stone-colored skin. The exact type of stone varies from oread to oread: some have tawny or reddish skin like sandstone; others are colored in mottled white, brown, green, gray, or pink, like granite; others are shiny black, like obsidian; and still others are gray-white, like limestone. Some oreads have sharp features, like newly-hewn rock, while others are soft and rounded, like water-smoothed stone. Their eyes are clear and beautiful gemstones, and their hair resembles thread-spun metal. When they wear clothing, oreads prefer loose gowns with flowing ribbons, necklaces, or shawls.

Mountain-Bound. A single mountain may have several oreads bound to it. They don’t spend much time with each other, though. They can leave their mountain homes and feel much safer in doing so than dryads feel, as mountains are far harder to destroy than trees. Mining and tunneling cause them pain but no true harm, and they can be vicious towards those who destroy rock for greed. Oreads and dwarfs are often at odds because of that.

Nature’s Ally. Although they can charm animals, they prefer to befriend them through their own effort. They become fiercely protective of these creatures, as they have few other friends.

Powrie

Perhaps one of the cruelest fey, powries are nasty, wasp-winged, grotesque-featured parodies of pixies and sprites. Their eyes are large and snake-like; their teeth are jagged and uneven, but definitely sharp; their hair is wild and unkempt, and the males have wiry beards; their voices are shrill and harsh and their wings sound like the buzzing whine of stinging insects.They often serve as assassins, at least for those who want their victims to die a death of a thousand stabs and bites. Powries love nothing more than to lead people astray until they’re horribly lost, then slowly torment them to death.

Embodiment of Contempt. Powries often serve more powerful evil fey as something like a cross between a jester and a familiar. They are born to be servants, but hate this role, which makes them hate everyone even more. They are obsessed with creating pain and anguish, because it’s the only way they can have control over anyone in their life. However, a powrie that serves no one is just as murderous, because they simply enjoy inflicting pain.

Disliked By All. Powrie are insulting and offensive, even to their allies. They see no reason to police their speech, even when faced with imminent threats. Only their master can hope to get a powrie to behave, and then only for a short time.

Sakina

The first sakina was created when a group of pixies were swept into the Plane of Air. Over the generations, they grew in size and the magic of the plane changed them, turning them into creatures of mercurial winds. It didn’t change their generally sunny disposition, however, and upon returning to the Material Plane, sakina remain a friendly fey. Few ground-dwellers encounter them, though, as they dwell high in the sky and rarely approach ground level.

Sakina are naturally invisible, as they are made of solid air, but with a few seconds of concentration they can draw mist and dust into their body, revealing their form as a butterfly-winged humanoid with indistinct features, made of whirling winds.

Fey Biology. These fey never eat; instead, they consume scents of any sort: the aroma of a well-cooked meal, fine incense, freshly-cut herbs, or good wine is all ambrosia to them. They drink the rains that fall on and through their bodies as they fly. When they sleep, they let the high-altitude winds take them to new and random places, where they delight in new discoveries.

Sakina roam the sky, never setting foot on the ground. They have no homes and are constantly afloat, traveling wherever they wish. Sakina who wish to stay together hold hands as they sleep. Although they are friendly, they rarely stay in one place for more than a few days at a time. They quickly become bored and fly off to find new things to see and do.

Friendly Faeries. These fey are known to be kind-hearted and helpful. They often ally with creatures such as favonians, djinn, sphinxes, and good dragons, and will always join in a fight against evil—assuming they can sit still long enough to do so.

Shee

Perhaps the most beautiful of all fey, shee look like tall, slender half-elves, with pale hair and eyes. Their voices are soft and soothing, and they hold themselves with inhuman grace and almost emotionless poise. They consider themselves to be the aristocracy of the the faerie courts—and they are definitely among the more manipulative fey.

Artists and Performers. Shee are among the most artistically talented of all faeries, and their musical performances can make the best bards weep with envy. Shee appreciate mortal art a great deal, for although they are excellent artists themselves, they are not creative ones; they can only copy, not invent.

Fey Diplomats. Shee are sometimes sent to infiltrate mortal courts (they use the term mortal with derision, and use it to describe even elves), to manipulate those courts for purposes known only to the shee and the archfey they serve. Shee dislike violence, and they rarely attempt to manipulate people to go to war, unless war would best serve them.

Magic Resistance. The shee has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Magic Weapons. The shee’s weapon attacks are magical.

Actions

Multiattack. The shee makes two shortbow attacks or three rapier attacks.

Rapier. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8+3) piercing damage.

Shortbow. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, Reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6+3) piercing damage.

Magic Arrow (Recharge 4-6). The shee magically creates one of the following arrows. The arrow vanishes after 1 minute, whether it is used or not. When struck by the arrow, the target takes damage and must succeed on a DC 17 Charisma saving throw or be affected by the arrow's special ability.
 Cursed Arrow. The target takes an additional 7 (2d6) force damage if it fails its save, and until the end of the shee's next turn, the target has disadvantage on all attack rolls and saving throws.
 Beguiling Arrow. The target takes an additional 7 (2d6) psychic damage, and is charmed by the shee until the end of the shee's next turn.
 Enfeebling Arrow. The target takes an additional 7 (2d6) necrotic damage, and the damage dealt by its weapon attacks is halved until the end of the shee's next turn.
 Sleeping Arrow. The target falls prone and is unconscious for 1 minute, or someone uses an action to shake or slap the sleeper awake. If the target fails its save by 5 or more, it remains unconscious until it is woken up.

Fey Charm. One humanoid the shee can see within 30 feet of it must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or be magically charmed for 1 day. The charmed target regards the shee as a trusted friend to be heeded and protected. If the shee harms the target, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on a success. If the target successfully saves against the effect, or if the effect on it ends, the target is immune to this shee's Charm for the next 24 hours.
 The shee can have no more than two humanoids charmed at a time.

Reactions

Parry. The shee adds 3 to its AC against one melee attack that would hit it. To do so, the shee must see the attacker and be wielding a melee weapon.

Teg

Tegs are among the most feral of fey. They are human-sized, but short, stout, and heavily muscular, with fox-like ears and vulpine features, which give hint to their ability to transform into foxes. This foxiness extends to their manners—they act like wild foxes, their eyes constantly darting about, their noses twitching, and always sniffing, biting, or spraying things.

Although generally loners, they get along well with others of their kind, and will work together to bring down large prey.

Hunters. Teg have no interest in fey politics, except when they agree to act as hunting hounds for fey lords. They find this terribly amusing; among humans, dogs are often used to hunt foxes. Among fey, foxes are used to hunt humans.

Thorn

Thorns are small fey that look remarkably plant-like. They are thin and wiry, and their skin is green, although it fades to brown in winter, and their hair, which resembles spiky grass, is typically dark brown or berry-colored. They are stern and unsmiling, ever-mindful of their self-imposed duties as protectors.
 Guardians of the Feywild. Thorns are warriors, wardens, and woodsmen of the faerie world. They wear armor made from thick leaves, which are as tough as leather, and carry swords crafted from thorns harvested from giant roses, and these wooden blades are as strong and sharp as steel. They carry bows that fire arrows that magically put their targets to sleep. They often domesticate giant wasps to carry them when they’re on their duties.

Thorns are utterly dedicated to their tasks. They are always ready to help other fey when needed, whether in combat or in everyday life. Although they are good front-line combatants, thorns prefer stealth and sneak attacks.

Tikbalang

A tikbalang is a fey creature that looks like a cross between a human and a horse. Its legs are disproportionately long, and its mane is made of long, thick spines, which it use as weapons. Its hide is usually pale tan, its mane (it has no tail) is iron blue, and its eyes glow yellow.
 Leads Astray. Tikbalangs lurk in sparse and desolate forests, boulder-strewn hills, and in ancient ruins, and use magic and their innate ability to mimic voices to lead travelers astray. Those who get lost are snatched up by the tikbalang, eventually becoming its meal or being traded to other creatures in exchange for whatever goods or services the creature wants.

They target those they consider to be intruders—a traveler who offers the tikbalang a gift or asks permission before entering its territory is usually left alone. Likewise, they have a weakness for music and dance, and a creature that puts on a show for the tikbalang is usually allowed to pass on by unmolested.
