Favourite (and Most Underused) Fey?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Hello all,

What are your favourite fey creatures from Pathfinder's many sources?

Which ones do you think don't get used often enough by GMs, or tend to get used beneath their full potential (for example, a creature with plenty of RP or story-hook potential that, in your experience, tends to end up getting used for target practice)?

Thanks!


For obvious reasons (read my name if you don't get it), I just love the Shadow Collector fey.

However, since my GM is awesome, I can't really say they go underused at our table, since he allowed me to add them to my Summon Monster list.


I'm excited to use an Erlking and a Hamadryad as two major NPCs in a homebrew campaign, personifying the masculine and feminine aspects of a vast and ancient forest.

as a side note, is their an easily accessible list of 'good' fey sorted from dark fey?

The Nixie.


Skinstealers, Thin Men, and Dawn Pipers


I usually consider Lurkers in Light as my preferred fey. The "oh crap" factor when faced in broad daylight is the main reason.


Thank you Rajnish! That looks good enough for me.


No pugwampi? You folks are slacking. : D


I'll tell you my favorite fey to HATE, Tooth Fairies. I can just feel the murderous haze of pure, unadulterated rage boilling just behind my character's eyes at the mention of them. As a GM, I think they are quite lovely (que evil, maniacal laughter)
