Phooka, C Small Fae
Simple Monster, XP 2400
Level 12 (+6)
"By the gods, I have never been so irritated...and you say they live in the forest? You’re a woodland elf, aren’t you?! How in the world were you able to live with those miscreants for any length of time, let alone several decades?!"
——Barol Magfist, Dwarven Warrior on encountering a Phooka with his comrades
Phookas are small fae creatures with large, bat-like ears and a stout body covered in thick black or white fur with a cat-like tail. They are tricksters by nature but are not malicious or violent. They are known as adept shape changers, using their disguised forms to lure humans into their pranks. An adult human might compare their demeanor and behavior to that of an extremely energetic 5-year-old. If forced into combat, they prefer to distract and displace their opponents with magical illusions meant to confuse and misdirect. They have the ability to shape change into a more powerful form if absolutely necessary, but prefer the forms of cute animals, such as goats, cats, and rabbits. Even if they take a larger, humanoid form, they are never quite able to hide their large ears and tail. Phooka are always chaotically aligned, and stand about 3 feet tall and weigh roughly 60 lbs.

Fae Suggestion P [Mind-Affecting]
Pot 1d8+6 (MR Yes)
Target one creature within 100ft. On a hit, the target is compelled to complete a simple task of the Phooka's choosing [SE, ST 4d10 vs CHA]. The suggestion must be simple and easy to complete, such as "Go take a swim in the lake" or "Run away in that direction." It cannot be obviously harmful to the target, or the ability fails. The target will continue to perform the action until it saves, or the action is completed. (Advanced)
Immediate Actions
Shape Change
Pot 1d12+6 (MR No)
Immediate Action
The Phooka can morph into any natural forest animal (most commonly a horse, goat, raven, rabbit, fox, wolf, or cat). Alternatively, the Phooka can morph into a humanoid figure, though it maintains some animal characteristic (ears, tail, etc). (Legendary)
Tree Glide
Pot 1d12+6 (MR No)
Free Action
As part of a move action, a Phooka may move into the trunk of one tree and exit from the trunk of another tree within 50ft. This is a teleportation effect. Alternatively, the Phooka may remain within a tree indefinitely, protected provided the tree doesn't suffer damage. (Legendary)
