Boggle

Lurking in the fringes of the Feywild, hiding under beds and in closets, Boggles bring mischief and chaos to anyone who crosses their path.

To Frighten and Bedevil

These small creatures are wily things, with the distinct look of a bogey creature that’s come from the Feywild. Often looking like they crawled out of a tar pit, Boggles have an oily appearance, which can be explained by their ability to excrete different types of oil from their skin. They stand at barely 3 ft tall and walk with their knuckles dragging the ground. Large ears flank the sides of their bulbous heads. Their skin ranges from dark gray to blackish blue.

Boggles are widely different apart from the aforementioned features. They may have misshapen appendages, large, small, or slitted noses, or their limbs may not match the size of their bodies being too large or small.

Oh, to be Merry

Created from feelings of loneliness in the Material Plane, Boggles pass the time by pulling petty pranks to amuse themselves. The chaotic nature of these creatures can cause distress to its hosts, though mayhem is rarely its intention. To a Boggle, anything from hiding tools to breaking dishes, frightening animals to hiding babies in the attic is considered a prank.

Being able to create small rifts, just large enough for it to fit through, a Boggle can get places it otherwise wouldn’t be able to, allowing the mischief to spread much farther than otherwise possible.

Friend or Foe

Those with a strong will are able to harness the Boggle’s chaos, though it will always find a way to entertain itself, regardless of who it is around. Oftentimes, Boggles are found in the presence of hags, and Fomorians, as well as the occasional Archfey Warlock. Outside these professions, if someone is CHAtic enough, and has enough to offer the boggle, they will find themselves in a temporary alliance with the highest bidder.

If someone does not have the strength of will to harness the chaos and bend it to benefit them, there is little they can do to tame or control a Boggle, as it is a creature of chaos and mischief.
