Daily Monster: Bad Fairies

Today's Daily Monster post features various denizens of Faerie. The Fair Folk are far too varied to zero in on one particular type. Instead, I'm presenting a handful of faerie creatures that can serve as appropriate opponents in a wide variety of game situations. Many of these fey kin appeared in this past weekend's Knights of the Astral Sea game.

Goblin Market Anti-Thief: Sneaky Puck Pocket-Placer (3), Goblin Market Rules Lawyer (2), Cowardly Bootlicker (2).

Sneaky Puck Pocket-Placer: Using sleight of hand to place objects into victim's pockets, thereby inducing a debt or obligation; being sneaky; knowing minor glamours.
Goblin Market Rules Lawyer: Using the peculiarities of Faerie Law to weasel items or service from unsuspecting bystanders.
Cowardly Bootlicker: Looking pathetic, running away, cowering in fear, sniveling, whining.

Jealous Hag: Trollish Night Creature Who Likes To Eat Children (4), Diva In her own Mind (2), Cougar (and not the Jungle-dwelling Feline Kind) (1).

Trollish Night Creature: Ripping people's arms off; seeing in the dark; hiding in fetid swamps; making girl scout cookies using real girl scouts.
Diva: Making unreasonable demands, getting what she wants.
Cougar: Vamping it up for younger men (that would be all men). Did you notice that this is a 1 die cliche?

Goblin Market Bruiser: Hired Muscle (4), Big Ass Humanoid (4).

Hired Muscle: Picking fights with people on command, being big, being strong. Could alternately use (3d8) Funky Dice.
Big Ass Humanoid: Should be obvious - being strong, ill-tempered, and violent. A minotaur would be a good example. Could also use Funky Dice.

Redcap Marauder: Murderous Goblin With Oversized Kitchen Cutlery (3).

Murderous Goblin: Cutting, stabbing, chopping, hacking, slashing, slicing... sense a theme? Also mopping up bloody floors with their red caps.

Band of Redcap Brigands: Half-Dozen Murderous Goblin With Meat Cleavers (4).

Redcap Archer: Elfshot Sniper (3), Murderous Goblin With Nasty-Looking Knife (3).

Elfshot Sniper: Sneaking, hiding, shooting victims from a distance using special paralyzing arrows.

Bugbear Enforcer: D&D-style Bugbear Gang Leader (4), Hairy Brute (4), Social Climber (2).

Bugbear Leader: Fighting, bashing, sneaking, giving orders to lesser humanoids. Optionally use (3d8) Funky Dice instead.
Hairy Brute: Pretty much just the fighting and bashing bits, though being hairy could count for something (this is Risus). Funky dice also appropriate.
Social Climber: Having great social luck (being in the right place at the right time), knowing when to stay quiet, having enough sense to sign up for the stronger/better-paying team.

Cat Lord: Decadent Anthropomorphic Aristocat (3), Feline Spymaster (3), Sadist (2), Wuss-in-Boots (2).

Aristocat: Looking bored, complaining about the freshness of sardines, witty banter, fencing, having cat-like qualities.
Feline Spymaster: Again with the catlike qualities, managing a network of feline spies, hiding, sneaking, being indispensable to the great leader.
Sadist: Torturing small rodents and not getting all worked up about it.
Wuss-in-Boots: Running away.

Autumn Witch: Ruthless Dictator (5), Cold-Hearted Enchantress (5), Closet Cannibal (4), Flying Monkey Breeder (3).

Ruthless Dictator: Eliminating political enemies; making the trains run on time; inspiring fear and loyalty; commanding armies of minions.
Cold-Hearted Enchantress: Flying on magic brooms, commanding chicken-legged huts, asking questions of magic mirrors, poisoning fruit, cursing princesses, maintaining her youthful appearance.
Closet Cannibal: Making Soylent Green, disposing of the remains, fighting with kitchen knives.
Flying Monkey Breeder: Commanding hordes of flying monkeys, cross-breeding with other creatures to produce specialized breeds, winning prizes at the annual Westminster Flying Monkey Show.

Horde of Flying Monkeys: Aerial Grunt Squad of Countless Simian Minions (6).

Aerial Grunt Squad: Swarm attacks from above, synchronized aerobatics, flinging poo.

Jealous Pixie: Spiteful Sprite (4), Obsessive Fangirl (3), High-Maintenance Fairy Princess (3).

Spiteful Sprite: Faerie glamour, attacking with pin-sized swords, lethal practical jokes, boiling bunnies.
Obsessive Fangirl: Stalking, unauthorized entry, making people feel very uncomfortable, knowing way too much about the subject of their obsession.
High-Maintenance Fairy Princess: Being temperamental, brow-beating people into doing what she wants.

Leprechaun Hooligan: Belligerent Drunk with Shortman's Syndrome (3), Cereal Box Icon (3).

Belligerent Drunk: Carousing, good old fashioned brawling, taking a beating.
Cereal Box Icon: Finding pots of gold, hiding, minor faerie magic, avoiding capture, protecting his lucky charms.

Obnoxious Faerie Dragon: Insanely Cheerful Master of Faerie Glamour (5), Pitbull with Butterfly Wings (3).

Insanely Cheerful Master of Faerie Glamour: Creating elaborate illusions, playing (unintentionally) dangerous pranks, trying the patience of saints.
Pitbull with Butterfly Wings: Viciously effective close combat, precision flight.

Delicious Brownie: Malicious Dessert Armed With A Spoon of Thwacking (3).

Malicious Dessert: Being edible, louring hungry travelers into peril with chocolaty goodness, paddling people into submission.
