pindersnaps

These spritely insectoid creepers dwell beneath the caps of mushrooms and sleep away the day in their warm, musky gills. Tales of pindersnaps are told to frighten children from wandering into the forest alone—for at night, pindersnaps twinkle like fireflies leading animals and wanderers alike into the mazes of the forest, and directly into patches of hungry funghouls or other perils. They do this, it is said, to feed upon the spirits of the recently deceased.

abilities

Tantalizing Twinkle

Pindersnaps only attack after they've lured their prey close. Anyone that sees a pindersnap twinkle must make a Mettle Check or they follow the glittering twinkle. Roll 1d6:

• 1–3. Characters stumble into a bed of funghouls.

• 4–6. Characters encounter a hostile Wandering Intruder.

vulnerabilities

Pindersnaps only come out at night and dislike intensely bright light that dwindles their twinkle.
