"The creatures of the First World are not like ours. You hunt a gazelle, it runs. A saba boar may fight like a demon once cornered, but when it first smells the hounds, it'll retreat into the bushes. Even desert lions will flee if you wound them badly enough. All of them live with death, and so they understand it. But the beasts of the First World have no such fear. You can fill them full of spears, and they'll keep coming, because what do they have to lose? Death is a stranger to the First World's mindless creatures, and a novelty to the intelligent ones. Those that look familiar are the worst, for they'll trick you, seduce you into thinking you know what to expect. But when that gazelle peels back its skin to unleash the flaming hornets nesting beneath its flesh—then you’ll understand. Nothing in the First World is familiar. Nothing is safe."

—Kuma Kiseyara describing the fey, The First World: Realm of the Fey

This page is part of the character sheet for Pathfinder, covering non-playable Fey creatures.

Mysterious, capricious denizens of the First World, the fey are one half nature spirit, one half minor demigod and one half natural creature. If you realize how little sense that makes, you are beginning to understand how the fey operate.

In General

Anthropomorphic Personification: Most fey embody an aspect of nature, whether directly representing specific trees, rocks or animals or more abstract concepts such as reproduction, tool use, entropy and the like.
Barred from the Afterlife: The fey exist outside of the normal "life, death, afterlife" cycle, as the First World is not connected to the River of Souls. As such, when fey die, they just respawn somewhere in the First World, albeit typically missing some memories, explaining why they don't always seek revenge. There are some ways fey can be Killed Off for Real, but these usually require some kind of MacGuffin or magic.
The Fair Folk: Played Straight more often than not. While a few kinds of fey are genuinely benevolent, most are either evil, crazy or incomprehensible.
Our Fairies Are Different: Most are quite different even from each other!

Fey Groups

Fetch

Level: 18 (stalker), 20 (behemoth), 22 (risen)

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Size: Medium (stalker), Large (behemoth)

Evil Doppelgänger: A fetch is a twisted, deviant simulacrum of a humanoid creature that exists or existed at one point on the Universe.
Fake Memories: While a fetch manifests from a soul's reflection, and as such bears a striking resemblance to that creature's appearance in life, a fetch has no true memories of its own. It keeps fragments of false remembrances from its source as if it experienced them in a half-remembered dream.
Kill and Replace: If a fetch replaces its source by slaying them and taking their place in society, it can become a freed fetch, allowing them to accrue personal growth. This drives most fetch to seek out their source, murder them in secret and try to replace them, yet unless the original was as twisted, such deceptions are inevitably laid bare when a fetch's evil nature becomes apparent.
Planimal: Fey-like features displayed by fetch include plantlike elements. In 2nd Edition, they are classified as both fey and plants.
Spontaneous Weapon Creation: A fetch stalker can manifest a fetch weapon in its hands. As soon as a fetch weapon is no longer wielded by a fetch, it vanishes.

Gorga

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Dark Is Evil: Beings of shadow and hunger, gorgas have no compassion and love to prey upon light-loving creatures.

Size: Medium

Shadow Walker: Temagyrs can blend in with and step between shadows to surprise victims.

Ocluai

Level: 3

Just Toying with Them: The field of unnatural darkness that surrounds an ocluai disorients most creatures. While other gorgas are quick to move in for the kill, ocluais love to perch on a low branch or lintel and watch with their blank expressions as prey succumbs to panic.

Gremlin

A category that encompasses several malevolent (or at least obnoxious) fey, who make up for their tiny size with cunning and bizarrely specific magical abilities.

Evil Is Petty: None of them are very powerful, and all of them seem to like wrecking stuff just to be assholes.
Griping About Gremlins: Evil, ugly fey who live to spread discord and mischief, usually through sabotage and dangerous pranks. Since all fey are supposed to represent some aspect of the natural world, gremlins are sometimes described as embodying nature's drive towards entropy and ordered systems breaking down.

No Ontological Inertia: If a nuno dies, all of curses it cast are immediately dispelled.

Winds of Destiny, Change!: They can impart bad luck or good luck with a touch, resolved mechanically as them imposing a +4 bonus or -4 penalty to all rolls.

Nymph

Fey resembling beautiful humanoid women with elven features, nymphs serve as guardians of the wild places of the world.

Prior to 2nd Edition, nymphs were a specific class of fey distinct from dryads, naiads and so on, and were depicted as fey who guarded natural wonders of any type. Following the shift from 1st to 2nd Edition, they were recast as a broad category of fey, and the older nymph characters and creature were reclassified as naiad queens.

Beware the Nice Ones: A nymph treats those who respect her and her abode with kindness, and is a fierce protector against those who would want to despoil it.
Monster Lord: Nymph queens often rule over large numbers of their common kin.
Nature Spirit: Embodiments and protectors of unspoiled nature, with subspecies focused on specific parts of the natural world.
Nice Girl: Nymphs are some of the few outright nice fey. They rarely use their blinding beauty unless people try to harm them or their homes.
One-Gender Race: They're all female.
Our Nymphs Are Different: They're a type of fey resembling impossibly beautiful, pointy-eared humanoid women, and watch over and protect natural wonders; they are in fact so supernaturally gorgeous that looking at one is enough to strike a man blind.
- In first edition, the nymphs' traditional subtypes are treated as distinct types of fey in their own right, only similar to nymphs insofar as they're humanoid, Always Female (usually; male dryads have appeared in stories and official artwork) and protectors of nature. Dryads are less powerful fey that guard specific trees and cannot stray far from them without withering and dying; hamadryads are a stronger variant thereof, who are not bound to individual plants and watch over whole forests. Naiads are bound to and watch over fresh waters such as rivers, ponds and lakes; they can transfer their bonds to other bodies of water, though, allowing them some mobility. Oceanids are marine counterparts to nymphs and dryads, possessing lower bodies made out of roiling water than only become legs on dry land and extensive power over the element of water. Nereids and oreads, despite being named after Classical Mythology nymphs, are very different creatures.
- 2nd edition overhauls this classification to more closely resemble the Greco-Roman model — "nymph", as such, is a general category of humanoid, female fey that watch over natural landmarks, with dryads and naiads being specific types of nymphs associated with specific environments. Nymph queens, rare and powerful exemplars of their kinds, take over the role of the older nymph species, to which they're largely equivalent mechanically; hamadryads are specifically another name for dryad queens.
Shameless Fanservice Girl: Nymphs in 1st Edition rarely wear clothes, instead preferring to display their bodies or only covering themselves with leaves and vines.
So Beautiful, It's a Curse: A nymph queen's beauty is legendary for very good reasons, and can bewitch almost any being. However, nymphs have no real control over it, which can be a problem; it's one thing to avoid the attentions of some random mortals, but it's quite another thing when it's, say, a powerful mage or a demon that becomes obsessed with the nymph.

Naiad

Challenge Rating: 1 (naiad), 7 (naiad queen)

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Challenge Rating: 3 (dryad), 13 (dryad queen)

Dryads are friendly and good-hearted (if flighty) tree nymphs that watch over woodlands and individual trees. Dryad queens are known as hamadryads, and are bound to entire forests instead of individual trees.

Charm Person: They can magically coerce passersby and turn enemies into allies.
Green Thumb: Common dryads can speak with plants and turn into trees. Dryad queens can direct and manipulate plants much more extensively.
Nice Girl: Dryads are some of the few outright nice fey, and mostly just want to be left alone. They fight back with lethal force if their trees are threatened, since they die if the tree they are bonded to is cut down.
Plant Person: They resemble humans or elves with wooden flesh, bark instead of skin and leaves and blossoms for hair.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: They can turn into trees and back at will.

Lampad

Level: 5 (lampad), 15 (lampad queen)

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Size: Medium

Lampads are the nymphs of underground places, where they work to ensure the protection of underground environments and to protect surface-dwellers from the horrors that live beneath the world. They lead lonely lives, with rarely anyone but animals and monsters for company, and tend to be very morose as a result.

Dishing Out Dirt: Due to their connection to the bowels of the earth, most of their innate spells focus on shaping and controlling rock.
Everybody Cries: Lampads can invoke this through their Weep ability to cry bitterly, causing anyone in earshot to pass a will save or to spend the next turn unable to use their own abilities due to being too busy weeping and sobbing along with her. Lampad queens have a stronger version where their targets are unable to do anything at all due to the strength of their despairing sobs.
Will-o'-the-Wisp: They can create glowing wisps of magical light, which they use to guid lost travelers to safety and to lure monsters to their doom.

Light 'em Up: They can manipulate sunlight through magical dances, which they can put varied purposes such as creating aesthetic displays, raising an area's illumination, or casting beams of searing light.

Sprite

Size: Tiny

The various members of the sprite family are often the first thing one pictures when thinking of the fey — tiny, whimsical beings resembling insect-winged humanoids, living carefree lives in the wilderness.

Lilliputians: Few sprites get to much taller than nine inches or so.
Random Effect Spell: The effects of pixie dust, a substance used by several sprite variants in their attacks, will cause on those who inhale it is randomly determined each time it's used. Depending on the roll, it may charm its targets into liking the sprite, wipe the most recent five minutes from their memories, send them to sleep or send them into a state of stupefied euphoria.
Winged Humanoid: Most sprites have insect wings, typically those of either butterflies or dragonflies. The Wingless, which include all PC sprites, slowly grow wings over time as their magical potential manifests, though some never grow wings at all.

Nyktera

Challenge Rating: -1

Alignment: Neutral Good

Nykteras, also called bat sprites, are highly gregarious and hospitable beings. They will shelter and care for anyone who needs their hospitality, but will react wrathfully if their generosity is abused.

Bat People: Nykteras resemble tiny humanoid bats, and usually live underground and alongside bat species whose features they share.
Sacred Hospitality: Nykteras take hospitality extremely seriously. They will not deny aid and rest to anyone who needs them, even bitter foes; however, if their hospitality is betrayed, the nyktera will fly into a rage and savagely attack the perpetrator, and it and its family will try to mete out an appropriate punishment if they can't avenge themselves then and there.

Sprite

Challenge Rating: -1

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

The namesake of the sprite family, common sprites have a tendency to latch onto people and places and fiercely protect them. However, they are all too aware of their physical frailty, and when danger raises its head will most likely beat a tactical retreat.

Playing with Fire: Sprites can toss small burning sparks and are surrounded by a heated aura that renders their physical attacks burning hot.

Melixie

Challenge Rating: 0

Melixie are a particularly insectoid variant of sprite, possessing the antennae and shells of several types of insects in addition to the typical wings. They possess powerful sweet teeth, and will ingest sugary liquids of any sort in alarming quantities.

Motor Mouth: They speak very quickly, and it can be difficult for other to keep up with their rapid-fire monologues.

The Wild Hunt

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

The wild hunt is an awe-inspiring and enigmatic group of fey who stalk and pursue their chosen prey between worlds. Those few who have caught glimpses of these elusive beings and lived to tell the tale speak of clouds of green mist filled with spectral hounds, archers who fire bolts of magic with inhuman accuracy, and the sound of a melodious horn echoing for miles across the landscape.

Other Fey

Templates

Blighted Fey

Level Adjustment: + 2

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Fey corrupted by the influence of Cyth-V’sug. This template can be applied to any fey creature with at least two hit dice.

Healing Factor: So long as it remains within 300 yards of any blighted tree within the Fangwood and remains standing on moist earth, a blighted fey gains fast healing.
Synchronization: A blighted fey can transform a thrown thorn into a burrowing, wiggling maggot that infests the target and inflicts a short-term curse. This parasite creates an unholy link to the target, transferring half of all hit point damage taken by the blighted fey to the target.

Fey Creature

Alignment: Non-Lawful

Long-Lived: Fey creatures have an extended lifespan and and rarely show outward signs of age.

Unknown

Level Adjustment: + 2

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Terrifying fey that feed on the psyches of other creatures. This template can be applied to any humanoid.

Abstract Eater: They feed on minds and thoughts.
Appearance Is in the Eye of the Beholder: Hallucinatory Camouflage makes an unknown look like an unremarkable person to every one but the target of their Victimize ability, who see them as they truly are. When they take on a more specific disguise with their Assume Likeness ability, it functions through hallucinations in everyone who sees them rather than a typical illusion or shapeshifting.
Bizarre Alien Senses: Though they exist in the Universe, they perceive the world through a constant haze of nightmares from the Dimension of Dreams.
Black Speech: Unknown gain Aklo as a bonus language when they're created.
Designated Victim: Their Victimize ability essentially lets them designate one, as most of an unknown's abilities work in context to a target designated by it.
Doppelgänger: An unknown can disguise itself as someone its Victimize target personally knows, automatically changing its manenrisms based on the Vicimize target's own memories to sell the disguise.
Nightmare Sequence: When a creature's Charisma damage from an unknown's Psyche Erosion equals their Charisma score, they fall into a coma where they suffer constant terrifying dreams of an unknown hunting them. If this damage is healed before a few days pass, that's the end of it, but if not then the unknown in their dream catches them and they become a mindless thrall, becoming a full unknown over time.
Seeing Through Another's Eyes: An unknown can share its senses with its thralls.
Stealth Hi/Bye: Part of their Dream Movements ability lets them teleport as per dimension door, but only if arriving at or leaving a location within view of their Victimize target, giving the impression that they can simply appear or disappear.
Tracking Device: A supernatural version. An unknown can mark a creature with its Victimize ability, after which it always knows that creature's location and the shortest route to them, even across planes.
Voice Changeling: Unknown can cast vocal alteration at will.
The Voiceless: Unknown are mute and must use their ventriloquism spell-like ability to verbally communicate.
Was Once a Man: The original unknown are believed to have been fey beings that became lost in the Dimension of Dreams, where they were remade by the dreaming minds of other creatures. Most unknown play this straighter, as they were sentient beings that were transformed into unknown when their psyches were fully consumed.
Wolverine Claws: Unknown gain claws as part of their transformation.
Would Hurt a Child: They prefer to feed on children or other helpless targets, as such meals are the least dangerous to prey on.
Wound That Will Not Heal: Not a wound per-say, but Charisma damage taken from their Psyche Erosion ability can't be healed normally so long as it is also the target of their Victimize ability. Should this Charisma damage equal their Charisma score, all ability damage ceases to heal normally.

Overly-Long Tongue: A tooth fairy monarch's tongue is sinuous, prehensile and around five feet long.

To Serve Man: Bilokos eat only the meat of humanoids, though they can survive for extended periods of time on a single meal.

Brownie

Level: 1

Alignment: True Neutral

Size: Tiny

Arch-Enemy: Kikimoras are enemies of brownies, since they often invite pain and frustration on their chosen houses instead of helping chores along. Some brownies actively seek out kikimora-infested homes with the intention of driving out kikimoras.
House Fey: A family that is aware of a brownie usually finds this a beneficial relationship and leaves dishes of milk, pieces of fruit, trinkets, and sometimes even wine as gifts. In exchange, the brownie keeps the home clean, mends clothes, repairs tools, and shoos away vermin and small predators.

Bulabar

Level: 1

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Size: Tiny

Bulabars are the tinkers of the First World, thought to personify the evolution of tool use in nature.

Fantastic Racism: They hate gremlins, especially vexgits, due to their mutually opposing drives to fix and break machines, and exterminate them whenever they can.
Mr. Fixit: Bulabars will cheerfully fix broken objects as they come across them, and even repair their enemies' broken gear once hostilities end — they can't stand seeing useful mechanisms be broken.

Chaneque

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Size: Small

Charm Person: A creature whose soul is eaten by a chaneque's thrown skull is vulnerable to the commands of whoever holds the skull.

Ambush hunting fey that prefer to eat sentient beings, though not before talking to them.

Their stats can be found in Gallows of Madness or online here.

Eaten Alive: When very hungry, drochtacs often do not even bother to kill their victims before eating them.

Faun

Level: 1

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Size: Medium

Fauns and Satyrs: They're quite similar to satyrs, but differ in being more morally principled and in female fauns existing, although they're not as common as the males. They do not appreciate being mistaken for satyrs, and the first fauns originated (and many still originate) from the union of satyrs and human women.
Half-Human Hybrid: The first fauns were the children of satyrs and human women, and in the setting's present time it's still far from unheard of for fauns to be born this way.
Horned Humanoid: Like their mythological inspirations, they have goat horns on their otherwise humanoid heads.
True-Breeding Hybrid: The first fauns were the children of satyrs and particularly Good-aligned human women. Many are still born this way, but for the most part fauns have become a self-perpetuating species in their own right independent of humans and satyrs.

Level: 1

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Size: Small

Bird People: Loblobis resemble small, chubby humans with the heads and wings of crested herons.

Size: Medium

Fey that seek to "fix" living creatures, though they do not understand the harm their actions bring.

Their stats can be found in Gallows of Madness or online here.

Blue-and-Orange Morality: Nukkefeens have a peculiar sense of morality. For example, most of them loathe weapons and violence, but think that harming unpleasant people or animals with scissors or similar objects is a way to fix them.

Skapraun

Level: 1

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Size: Small

Born-Again Immortality: The death of a skapraun triggers a form of reincarnation that occurs inside the corpse. The new skapraun leeches nutrients from its precursor's body to build its own until it is born. The skapraun remembers nothing of its former life, but its psyche and physique are always shaped in some way by the decisions its precursor made, and particularly by the precursor's death.
Trap Master: A skapraun is particularly skilled at crafting traps that mimic natural hazards.

Duende

Level: 2

An uncommon offspring of fiends and — usually unwilling — nymphs.

Horned Humanoid: They have curling, pointed goatlike horns, courtesy of their fiendish fathers.
Non-Human Humanoid Hybrid: Half nymph, half fiend.
Self-Made Orphan: Most nymphs who bear forlarren children die in childbirth. On those occasions where the nymph survives, her child will likely kill her anyway.
Tragic Monster: Most of them don't want to be evil, but unfortunately the fiendish part of their nature usually forces them to.

Leprechaun

Level: 2

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Size: Small

Leprechaun: Leprechauns are small, green-eyed fey who love playing tricks on unknowing passersby, a fine bottle of wine and hot food in their bellies. They love gold and often hoard it in secret, hidden places.

Liminal Spirit

Level: 2

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Size: Tiny

Exact Words: An ancestral curse prevents liminal spirits from sleeping either inside a building or outside in the open, but a loophole allows them to rest in the external features of a building.

Pooka

Level: 2

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Size: Tiny

The Trickster: Pookas are capricious and always in search of fun, without caring who they inconvenience with their antics.
The Unintelligible: Pookas speak in choppy, simple sentences filled with obscure metaphors and nonsensical references, and are usually misunderstood by a first-time conversation partner.

Redkind

Level: 2

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Size: Small

Redkind are simple and secretive fey that feed on fear like the far more dangerous bogeyman does, but they work in quieter and subtler ways.

Achilles' Heel: Situational Blindness, an ability that means they have a hard time seeing anything that can't see them and anything that covers itself is completely hidden even if they normally wouldn't be. The description even mentions closing your eyes or hiding under a blanket as effective ways to hide from their perception.
Casting a Shadow: In darker areas their Twisted Shadows ability animates shadows into leering and writhing shapes, leaving those who seem them shaken.
Things That Go "Bump" in the Night: Redkind are essentially lesser boogeymen, tickling simple and childlike fears like darkness, loneliness, strangers, or the abject paranoia of the unknown.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: They can take the form of a cat, a spider, a snake, or a child.

Skin Stealer

Level: 2

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Size: Medium

Human Disguise: When wearing a stolen skin, a skin stealer takes on the likeness of the skin's original owner, including voice, build and size, but gains none of the creature's abilities.
Sizeshifter: A skin stealer can adjust its size to inhabit many different creatures' skins.

Zrukbat

Level: 2

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Size: Small

Object Shifting: A zrukbat can assume the shape of an object or ornamentation, although the zrukbat's mimicked objects usually have unrealistic or suspicious quirks.

Level 3

Azhana

Level: 3

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Size: Small

Caring Gardener: Azhanas tend the wilderness as if it were a giant garden. By engaging with flora, fauna and people, they coax local organisms to interact with each other. After all, a lumberjack offered salutations is less likely to scuffle with wildlife and knows someone's watching to ensure they don't overharvest.
Hates Being Touched: Azhanas don't like being too close to people or animals, and have an irrational phobia of being touched by any non-azhana creature.
Shear Menace: An azhana carries a pair of magical gardening shears.

Calpina

Level: 3

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Size: Small

Abstract Eater: On the Universe, adult calpinas feed on the ego of non-plant creatures.
One-Gender Race: Calpinas are all female, fertilise their own eggs, and do not need mates.
To Serve Man: Calpina larvae are carnivorous and need to consume substantial quantities of animal tissue, so adults welcome visitors after their eggs have hatched. Small groups of calpinas often work together to lure victims into ambushes, draining their egos to the last drop before leaving the comatose victims for their offspring to eat.

Choxani

Level: 3

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Size: Medium

The Blank: A choxani is a humanoid creature with no facial features.

Hellfire Ignis

Level: 3

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Size: Small

Pyromaniac: Hellfire ignises are cruel and sadistic pyromaniacs who see fire as a tool for destruction and revel in the raw power of its hungering flames. A spellcaster who takes a hellfire ignis as a familiar must carefuly keep it in check, as they have been known to set fire to their masters' workshops, libraries, and homes because they often contain so many combustible tools and decorations.

Nochlean

Level: 3

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Size: Medium

Predatory fey that delight in vandalizing homes, murdering pets, and stealing children.

No Need for Names: No nochlean has a proper name; instead, each of them answers to the name of their species, although a few revel in epithets bestowed upon them by prey.

Roseblood Sprite

Level: 3

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Size: Small

Gaia's Vengeance: Embodying nature's uncaring and vengeful aspects, roseblood sprites act out against those who would despoil nature's beauty, often with excessive force.
Poisoned Weapons: Roseblood sprites typically carry a number of poison thorns with them, which carry an irritating toxin known as the red rash.

Spring-Heeled Jack

Horned Humanoid: He has a pair of ibex-like horns on his head.
In a Single Bound: Spring-Heeled Jacks can leap at prey from a startling distance, much farther than most prey expect them to be able to.
Serial Killer: Much like his Victorian inspiration, he's a knife-wielding maniac who preys on innocents and leaves a trail of corpses and scarred victims in his wake.
Single Specimen Species: Subverted. While Spring-Heeled Jack is often assumed to be a singular, unique individual, they're in truth a whole species, who are so rare and distrustful of each other's company that two have never been seen together.
Spring-Heeled Jack: A horned, hoofed and knife-wielding fey capable of prodigious leaps. He's a cruel and often violent trickster, and is believed to have come to the Universe from the First World of the fey precisely to seek a more "appreciative" audience for his mayhem — the natives of the First World, native to an ever-shifting reality and simply reforming after death, didn't think much of Jack's mayhem. In the physical world, where actions' consequences are far more permanent, Jack's tricks and violent sprees leave far more of an impression. He tends to hunt on the edges of cities until people get too suspicious, at which point he goes to ground in the wilderness and preys on wildlife and travellers.

Twigjack

Level: -1 (sprigjack), 3 (twigjack), 6 (bramble)

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Size: Tiny

The Fundamentalist: Twigjacks devote themselves to gods of their own imagining who, inevitably, demand that their worshippers purge their territory of those whose presence displeases them.
Plant Hair: Shaggy, mossy growth tops a twigjack's head like hair.

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Size: Medium

Human Resources: Bagmen kidnap humanoid victims and harvest their fat to produce potions.
The Secret of Long Pork Pies: Bagmen sell the potions they've produced using the fat of their victims to the very communities which they prey on. The gold they earn from these sales is less important to bagmen than the perverse pleasure they gain from revealing the nature of their wares to horrified customers.
Would Hurt a Child: Bagmen greatly value the fat of children, and employ a variety of tricks and threats to lure them away from the safety of their homes and families.

Boggart

Level: 4

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Size: Large

Ekekehs are intelligent aquatic creatures similar to dolphins and hold themselves up as proof that humanoids don't have a monopoly on civilization.

Flying Seafood Special: Ekekehs can levitate themselves at will, and their gills can process both air and water. They're often found floating their way through the streets of coastal cities in order to interact with terrestrial sapients, although they can only move through the air at a very slow and limited pace.
Heroic Dolphin: Benevolent, civilized dolphin-like fey who build grand cities beneath the ocean and seek to match the land-dwellers' achievements in culture and edification.
Mind over Matter: Ekekehs are inborn telekinetics. They can use this to manipulate tools despite their lack of hands, and the levitate themselves out of water and into the air.

Fossegrim

Level: 4

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Supernatural Suffocation: A fossegrim can flood the lungs of a creature that is willing, is helpless, is affected by its enchanted music ability, touches it while it’s in treasure form, or is touched by it (traditionally by kissing the creature on the lips). If the target cannot breathe water, it cannot hold its breath and immediately begins to drown slowly.

Frosty Chiseler

Level: 4

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Size: Small

Frosty chiselers were once master craftsmen and artisans of the fey. Either under the perverted sway of the Witch Queen or consigned to prolonged exile from the verdant lands of their people, these artists found themselves changed by a creeping cold that spread from their hearts to envelope their entire beings.

Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul: Gerbies hate violence, but they are willing and able to mind-whammy hostile creatures into friendlier attitudes.
Laser-Guided Amnesia: One of their powers. It's easier to break up a fight if the belligerents can't remember what they're mad about.
Love Freak: An entire species of Friendship Freaks, but they make it work.
Mushroom House: Would cute little friendship fairies live in anything else?
Ridiculously Cute Critter: Specifically described in the flavor text as "adorable."

Huldra

Level: 4

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Size: Medium

Berserk Button: Legend claims tht huldras were originally created by troll witches to lure humans into their clutches. Every huldra is aware of this tale, finds it insulting, and denies it at length. There's no greater way to anger a huldra than to speak about this myth.
Glacier Waif: Despite their relatively lithe frames, huldras are deceptively strong, and stories abound of them performing astonishing feats of strength without realising they're breaking their glamour.
Winds of Destiny, Change!: A huldra can impart good or bad luck on another creature.

Kelpie

Level: 4

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Size: Medium

Eaten Alive: Morgodeas keep victims alive as long as possible, carefully consuming only those body parts that will not necessarily kill the prey.
Fantastic Drug: Morgod jelly causes vivid hallucinations and a sense of euphoria, and is remarkably addictive to most humanoids. Morgodeas collect it in vials or wax-covered paper to sell to victims once they become addicted.
No Face Under the Mask: Morgodeas appear as human or elven vagrants covered in dirty rags, which are actually layered flaps of hide the morgodea can open to reveal a brood of cockroaches.
Spawn Broodling: Morgodeas reproduce by inserting a single egg into a comatose addict. Within days, the egg hatches, then the larva burrows its way into the brain, consumes it, and begins to merge with the brainless body.
To Serve Man: Morgodeas prefer the flesh of humanoid creatures rendered comatose by their addictive jelly.

Nisid

Level: 4

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Size: Small

Deserted Island: Loners by nature, a nisid claims and forms a bond with a single uninhabited island, and seeks to preserve its untouched sanctity as well as their own solitude. If a nisid determines that a trespasser simply wishes to get off the island, the nisid often offers to help the guest survive and escape. For those who arrive with no intention of quickly leaving or who drastically overstay their welcome, a nisid finds murder a small price to pay for solitude.
Laser-Guided Amnesia: The nisid's ties to its island help keep it hidden from repeat visits, ensuring that even trespassers who want to return find doing so difficult, as their memories of the place become hazy, especially when it comes to locating it again.

Horned Humanoid: Like their mythological inspirations, they have goat horns on their otherwise humanoid heads.
Magic Music: A satyr can focus and empower magic by playing haunting melodies on his panpipes.

They adore the trappings of wealth and class, but lack a deeper understanding of politics, and focus most of their energy on personal entertainment and accumulating wardrobes of rich fabrics and random jewelry. These tiny fey spend their time skulking around academies, guilds, and noble courts, stealing valuables and influencing mortal minds to create drama.

Alpha Bitch: Pretty much a whole race of them. They like to spread rumors about people and rarely care if the person suffers bad consequences as a result as well as being able to "bond" with humanoids in a way that seems beneficial but slowly drains said humanoid's charisma. A group of them is even called a "clique".

Death by Childbirth: Old ohancanus are murdered and dissected and their organs planted among the roots of the oldest trees around. About a year later, some of these organs sprout into young ohancanus.

Cold Rider

Level: 8

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Size: Large

Cold riders were once princes of the forest, honored knights of the Willow Kings, or otherwise powerful fey in the service of an Eternal Monarch. Brought before the Witch Queen, these noble gallants watched in horror as she plunged her cruel icicle-nails into their chests and tore out their steaming hearts before their eyes. In the gaping gore of their chest wounds, the Witch Queen packed the month-old rotting hearts of slaughtered stags, and then breathed life anew into the tortured fey with an icy kiss. A cage of frozen armor wrapped about them and they rose as wintry antlered abominations. Their songs were stolen and their love of green and beauty replaced with cold hate and undying love for the Witch Queen.

Their 3.5 stats can be found in Carnival of Tears. Their Pathfinder 1sy Edition stats are online here.

Escorite

Creatures created when unknown stimuli cause a metamorphosis in a remacera. Where remaceras embody rebirth, escorites represent the inevitability of entropy, teaching the careless immortals of the First World to fear cessation.

Brown Note Being: Even standing in an escorite's presence claws at the mind as one wrestles with the inevitability of one's own eventual nonexistence.
Deadly Gaze: An escorite's eyeless stare can disintegrate enemies.
Metamorphosis: On rare occasions, a remacera may begin producing dark silk, sealing itself inside a black cocoon. A week later, it emerges in the form of an escorite.

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Size: Medium

To Serve Man: Kishis consume every part of their victims, leaving no trace of the murder.

Shadow Collector

Level: 8

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Size: Small

Casts No Shadow: A shadow collector casts no shadow of its own, but instead casts any one of the stolen shadows it possesses.

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Size: Medium

Descended from fey exiles from the First World, sorrow stitchers are born unable to feel love or joy and seek to inflict this torment on others. Their stats can be found in '"Seers of the Drowned City'' or online here.

Official Fan-Submitted Content: The sorrow stitcher was created by Crystal Malarsky as part of Paizo's RPG Superstar competition in 2015.
Tortured Monster: They lack the ability to feel happiness on their own and must drain it from others. Even worse, the whole reason they are cursed this way is because of something their ancestors did, meaning it's not even their fault!

Svartalfar

Level: 8

Ijiraq

Nuckelavee

Level: 9

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Size: Large

Gaia's Vengeance: Nuckelavees exist to be protectors of the waters, and will viciously and violently avenge pollution and despoilment of the bodies of water they guard.
Logical Weakness: The nuckelavee, a fey embodiment of polluted water, is burnt by fresh water as if it were like acid.
Nuckelavee: Nuckelavees are swamp-dwelling fey who resemble a horselike monstrosity with the gnarled upper body of a humanoid growing directly from its back. They arise from swamps and polluted water and go wreak bloody vengeance, but ironically spread filth and corruption themselves. They're very difficult to approach in any kind of peaceful manner, but if a mortal sufficiently impresses one the nuckelavee may secretly gift it a token in the form of a bracer of damp, briny gray flesh. If worn, this allows its bearer to purify water at the cost of polluting their own blood and becoming sickly and ill. Notably, because they survive on polluted water, they generally don't take kindly to those that try to clean it up, and rather than enact their vengeance on those who threaten the environment, they attack anyone and everyone around them.

Level 10

Alp

Level: 10

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Size: Medium

Alps are troublesome fey who disturb the dreams and drink the blood of sleeping victims.

Nightmare Weaver: An alp controls the dreams of a sleeping target by sitting atop its torso. Once it does so, the alp becomes heavier and heavier, restricting the victim's breathing while inducing terrible nightmares and draining blood.

Bogeyman

Level: 3 (bogey), 6 (bugaboo), 10 (bogeyman)

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Size: Small (bogey), Medium (bugaboo, bogeyman)

Stealers of innocence and eaters of souls. Bogeymen begin as bogeys, gradually growing in power as they feed on souls and fear until they develop into bugaboos and eventually into true bogeymen.

The 1e stats for bogeymen can be found in Bestiary 3 or online here. The 2e stats for bogeys, bugaboos, and bogeyman can be found in Extinction Curse: Legacy of the Lost God.

Bizarre Alien Reproduction: Bogeymen reproduce by using mortal souls somehow, abducting victims and returning afterwards with a newborn bogey. At each stage of their life, they need to devour an increasing number of souls to progress to the next instar. Once they reach the bogeyman stage, devouring souls no longer allows them to progress to a new stage in development but does cause them to grow stronger with no upper limit. The most analogous animal to their life cycle would actually be lobsters, which progress through several instars before reaching an adult stage that can grow indefinitely so long as food supplies allow.
Healing Factor: They have a potent fast healing ability once they become bogeyman.
In the Back: They have bonuses when attacking creatures who have yet to act in combat, and bugaboos and bogeymen have a weakened version of the rogue's sneak attack.
No-Sell: They're all immune to fear effects.
One-Gender Race: As the name implies, bogeymen are exclusively male.
Soul Eating: They can eat souls at all levels of their development, and doing so is crucial to their growth.
Supernatural Fear Inducer: They can use fear spells at all levels of their development, gaining access to more powerful and dangerous spells as they grow. Bugaboos and bogey men can also induce fear on a critical hit, and true bogeymen are surrounded by a haze of hallucinations that reflect the viewer's deepest fears.
Things That Go "Bump" in the Night: They're embodiments of the classic childhood monster hiding in a closet, under the bed, in dark corners of your attic, watching to snatch ankles when you get up at night and stalking you through your house in the darkness. Bogeymen tend to graduate into adults' versions of these, stalking victims through dark alleys and spreading terror through whole communities through nighttime assaults, break-ins and killing sprees.
Was Once a Man: Implied. Sometimes a bogeyman will chose to abduct a target rather than killing them. What happens after that is unknown, but when the bogeyman returns months or years later they'll have a bogey in tow.

Brughadatch

Level: 7 (gahlepod), 10 (brughadatch), 14 (doblagub)

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Size: Small (gahlepod), Medium (brughadatch), Large (doblagub)

Frog Men: Midlife brughadatches have a relatively humanoid appearance, in contrast to the much more frog-like elders and juveniles.

To Serve Man: Brughadatches prefer to feed on humanoids.

Nereid

Level: 10

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Size: Medium

Achilles' Heel: Their shawls. These grant them extensive power, but anyone who seizes a nereid's shawl will gain complete control over them.
Call a Pegasus a "Hippogriff": In terms of behavior, habitat and oddly specific weakness, they're extremely close matches to European water spirits such as rusalkas, just with the name of a tangentially similar water spirit from Greek myth.
Characterization Marches On: In 2nd edition the abilities of nereids have been kept the same, but they're not dangerous and just want to be left alone. This is Hand Waved as being the result of confusion with rusalkas.
Our Nymphs Are Different: They're based on the Greek nymphs of the sea, but bear a stronger resemblance to capricious medieval water spirits than anything else.
Poisonous Person: They can spray poison at will.
Sadly Mythtaken: They have very little in common with the nereids of myth — to begin with, nereids were nymphs of the sea, whereas these ones dwell in lakes, ponds and rivers. Further, Pathfinder nereids are capricious and often dangerous creatures, quite unlike Greek nymphs. There is also nothing in the original nereid myths saying anything about shawls like the ones these nereids make and depend on.
Supernatural Suffocation: They can fill a victim's lungs with water at a touch, preferably a Kiss of Death. If they fail their saving throw, they fall unconscious in one turn and die in three.

Poludnica

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Size: Medium

Size: Medium

Evil Laugh: Sluaghs show merriment on occasion, giggling as their claws draw closer to their quarry's throat.
Mutual Kill: According to a fey legend, the first sluagh arose when a member of the wild hunt and a mortal struck killing blows simultaneously. The mortal's soul polluted the fey's, like a blemish in a ruby, causing the fey to be reborn already dead.

Your Soul Is Mine!: Sluagh collect the souls of those close to death and bring them to feed their queen.

Level: 11

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Size: Medium

Abstract Eater: Also known as curse eaters, imprecasias can fully consume curses on objects and creatures, and will usually gladly accept doomed objects or charitably destroy an individual's curse, but never accept the idea of healing a cursed land. To ensure their source of sustenance, some might even seek to strengthen the afflictions in a region or track cursed families over generations until the curse ends or the bloodline goes extinct.
Life Drain: When a nearby creature is dying, an imprecasia can inhale a thin blue streak of vapour out of the dying creature's body into their mouth, restoring their health while pushing the target closer to death.

Larabay

Level: 11

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Size: Medium

The Trickster: Larabays are especially fond of toying with sailors and fishermen, playing pranks aboard ships or in seaside towns by assuming various shapes. In their never-ending pursuit of a good laugh, larabays have been known to employ their illusions to draw ships into precarious situations.

Rusalka

Level: 12

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Size: Medium

Arch-Enemy: Rusalkas and riekanoys argue which of their kind came first: whether riekanoys are rusalkas gripped with a nonsensical urge to cavort, or whether rusalkas are riekanoys grown petty and nasty. The two virtually never get along and fight over riverine territories that overlap.
Art Evolution: Rusalkas were given a much more androgynous design during the transition from 1st to 2nd Edition.

Fickle creatures that delight in causing pain.

Me's a Crowd: An ankou can conjure up to four shadowy duplicates to aid in its attack.
Professional Killer: Ankous who have rebelled against their masters gather others to form deadly guilds of assassins.
Soft-Spoken Sadist: Ankous never speak aloud; when they feel the need to communicate at all, they do so in a telepathic whisper directly into a victim's mind.

I Call It "Vera": Vilderavns have an unusual affection for their swords, often granting them threatening names.

Seilenos

One-Gender Race: All norns are female.
Shear Menace: A norn's pair of shears can sever the threads of fate of an enemy.

Whisperer

Level: 20

Alignment: Neutral Evil

Size: Large

Otherworldly and alien fey who rule domains of primeval wilderness, to which they brook no intruders.

The Blank: They have only a pale glowing light where their face should be.
Combat Clairvoyance: How their Anticipation ability works, letting them add their Wisdom modifier to initiative and armor class.
Combat Tentacles: In combat a whisperer attacks with tendrils of mist that inflict, deep, bloodless, crater-shaped wounds.
Curse: Their Inescapable Curse makes the victim increasingly obsessed with the Primeval Landscape and unwilling to leave it. If forced to leave they become severely ill, doing their best to return to it and automatically teleporting back to where they were when they were first cursed if they ever fall asleep.
Death World: A whisperer's Primeval Landscape creates this on an area with a 5 mile radius. Animals and plant creatures become supernaturally hostile, nearly every sentient being that dies within it creates a haunt, and undead and evil fey run rampant, all while is slowly grinds down the minds of those within it. It's also all under the effect of a Grand Perilous Demesne, which creates a number of high CR hazards and traps.
Enchanted Forest: While whisperers can appear in any natural environment, like deserts or mountains, their various spells meant to work with plants and animals function best in forests.
Expy: Of Slenderman (though they also borrow from Algernon Blackwood's The Willows).
Fantastic Drug: Evil fey find a whisperer's alien presences euphoric.
The Fair Folk: One of the most alien and malevolent examples in the setting.
Flight: They have no movement except their fly speed.
Flunky Boss: Evil fey flock to whisperers and undead rise from their victims. Oftentimes these minions will be what fight any intruders, with them none the wiser to the whisperer's existence.
Green Thumb: They have multiple spell-like abilities to weaponize, communicate with, or move through plants.
Home Field Advantage: Within their Primeval Landscape, the whisperer rules supreme.
Humanoid Abomination: Humanoid in general appearance, but a ghostly figure that rules over a domain of madness and hostile wilderness. They also speak Aklo, an irregularity among fey.
"Instant Death" Radius: A whisperer has an Aura of Whisperers that forces those within it to save against the whisperer's Primeval Landscape once per round rather than once a day. That's a maximum of five failed saves before instant death, and even then that's if they encounter the whisperer before ever failing normally.
Intangible Man: A whisperer is incorporeal, meaning they're essentially intangible at all times.
I Work Alone: Whisperers never work together, though they may collect assorted undead and fey minions.
Manchurian Agent: They can cast triggered suggestion at will, which they enjoy using to spread grief and self-destruction. For example, a whisperer may command someone to break the heart of someone they love the next time they meet, then go drown themselves.
The Maze: All skill checks made to navigate within a whisperer's Primeval Landscape are increased by 20 and spells that offer guidance must beat a caster check or offer incorrect results that lure other deeper into the whisperer's grasp.
Mind over Matter: They can cast telekinesis at will.
Mind Rape: Being in a whisperer's Primeval Landscape is severely taxing on the sanity, requiring a Will save every day. After the first failure, ordinary things being to seem unsettling and ominous to you. After the second, the terrain around you seems to shift and warp while sounds are twisted into atonal parodies or blocked out by eerie whispering. After the third, hallucinations crowd out actual events and your perception bears little relationship to reality. After the fourth your body begins to suffer when autonomic processes begin to fail as pain and paranoia take hold. Failing the fifth immediately kills you as the metal stress finally causes your body to give out altogether.
Nightmare Sequence: Whisperers can cast both dream and nightmare at-will, and while the former is meant to deliver a message rather than a nightmare, the information a whisperer chooses to convey and the appearance they can make their dream messenger take lets it qualify.
Night of the Living Mooks: Due to the supernatural mental pressure a whisperer's Primeval Landscape creates, many creatures that die within it become undead and haunts are commonplace. Such undead are about the only things a whisperer doesn't attempt to destroy for trespassing.
Powers Do the Fighting: Whisperers rely on their various abilities to kill intruders without ever revealing themselves, and even in direct combat their attacks form from the mist around them rather than any direct means.
Psychic-Assisted Suicide: Their usual use of their Compel Sacrifice ability, which allows them to suggest self destructive actions in their suggestion spells without the Fighting from the Inside that such commands usually allow for.
Resurrective Immortality: When slain, a whisperer's Rejuvenate ability lets them reappear in their Primeval landscape at the next full moon. This can only be prevented by destroying the effect before they can return.
Stealth Expert: Besides their high Stealth bonus and spell-like abilities meant for quick repositioning, their Unsuspected ability means that when creatures save against a whisperer's bilities they don't even know they made a save unless there's clear visual evidence.
Wound That Will Not Heal: Its Cursed Wound ability creates these. Damage dealt by its mist tendrils doesn't heal naturally and resists magical healing.

Level 21

Glaistig

Level: 21

Mythic Rank: 10

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Size: Medium

Ancient, powerful and regal fey who watch over rural countrysides and wildernesses, providing their inhabitants with their formidable protection in exchange for reverence and offerings of food and drink.

Amazing Technicolor Population: Glaistigs usually have greenish skin.
Dishing Out Dirt: Glaistigs are creatures of the earth and exert a great deal of magical control over it, such as by blasting foes with jagged shards of stone, petrifying targets or summoning earth elementals; in particular, they tend towards the interpretation of elemental earth as including nature- and plant-based powers. Conversely, however, they lose access to much of their powers if lifted away from the ground, and air attacks suppress their normal health regeneration.
The Fair Folk: They are based on Scottish fairies, and particularly hearken back to Celtic fairy lore. They are immensely powerful but very fickle, and their presence is a double-edged blessing for those living in their lands. Glaistigs take under their protection vast territories of wilderness and rural land, and the people living in their territories enjoy their protection from outside threats and natural calamites in exchange for gifts of food, drink and craft. If a glaistig is offended, however — and they are easily offended, by anything from lack of proper appeasement to being told any sort of lie — she can and will scourge the land with hexes, curses and blights, and her presence alone is enough to incite people into frenzied, uncontrollable dancing.
Garden Garment: Glaistigs typically wear long, flowing robes, skirts and gowns woven out of leaves.
Monochromatic Eyes: Their eyes are solid yellow, with no pupils and no distinct irises and scleras.
One-Gender Race: They're always and exclusively female.
Spontaneous Weapon Creation: They can create temporary whips out of kinetic energy to use as weapons in combat.
Would Not Hurt A Child: They are often (incorrectly) thought to kill lost children. In reality they like kids, and usually just talk to them for a bit before sending them home unharmed.
