Abúhukü

These nocturnal fiends are deadly hunters who embody plagues,
poisons, and all manner of physical taint and corruption that rots
bodies from the inside out. They are said to arise from the spirits
of poisoners and murderers in life, or even adulterers and carnal
predators, reborn in filthy, hairy, stinking bodies that embody
their every bestial craving and murderous impulse. They often
pierce or carve a hole in the skull of their victims before sucking
out the entire content of bodily fluids and organs. They may roll
unconscious prey in palm leaves and beat or roast the body to
tenderize it. In either case, they usually leave the empty skin of
their victim hanging from a tree after they have completed their
feast. The abúhukü is 6 feet tall and weighs 150 to 200 pounds.

Predatory Parenting. Abúhuküs may be male or female, and as
demons they continue to prey on those they abused in life. Either
gender of abúhukü is liable to spare children after murdering
their parents, raising them like changelings to become feral
and cannibalistic. Abúhuküs are quite stupid and can often be
outwitted by clever tricks or even by children.

Toxic Tincture. The hairs of an abúhukü’s armpits are said
to enhance poisons, whether freely given or harvested from a
captive creature, cut with a corn husk, and reduced to ashes by a
smoldering fire. When mixed into a poultice and then dried and
powdered, this residue can be added to any poison to increase the

following spells, requiring no material components:

1/week each: control weather, wind walk
Glimmer. The acalica is invisible when looked at directly.
It can only be seen out of the corner of the viewers eye
unless the acalica decides otherwise. Attack rolls against
the acalica have a -1d4 penalty.
Magic Resistance. The acalica has advantage on saving
throws against spells and other magical effects.
Weathervane. The acalica can predict the weather for the next
24 hours with 100 percent accuracy. Their colouring also
reflects the current weather pattern and hints at the forecast
as well. For example, on a hot day but with rain the
following day, he will appear reddish/orange with blue/
green wings and cap.

Actions

Sky-Bolt. Ranged Spell Attack: +4 to hit, range 90 ft., one
target. Hit: 12 (3d6 + 2) energy damage. The acalica can
determine the damage type as part of the attack which can
be cold, lightning or thunder. This attack does an additional
7 (2d6) damage if the target could not see the acalica
when the attack hits.

Reactions

Glimmer Man. When an attack misses the acalica he may
become invisible until the end of his next turn or until he
attacks.

Ahuizotl

Carnage-hungry denizens of the swamp, at a glance ahuizotls
look little different than overlarge otters or a variety of other
water-dwelling mammals. Their hindquarters reveal them to be
far stranger beasts, though, as each possesses a powerful tail
ending in a fifth hand with deadly claws. From the depths of
their aquatic homes, ahuizotls look skyward, watchful for any
boat or intruder that might trespass into their territories. Upon
sighting such prey, their tentacle-like tails burst from the murk,
dragging their victims down to meet death amid their powerful
jaws and the drowning mire. Yet for all their ferocity, ahuizotls
are blasphemously wasteful, for all they desire from their meals
are the crunch of dismembered teeth and nails and the cool slime
of freshly extracted eyes. What remains they release forth to the
waves, to other aquatic predators, and to their victims’ shocked
mourners. Ahuizotls measure roughly 8 feet long, with a

of food, but they are temperamental and may respond
angrily if offered something they perceive as poor

Growth Cycle. The youngest aíǰe are vulnerable to
their surroundings and rarely leave the water. They rely on stealth
and their magical skin to remain invisible while in the water. They
continue to grow in size and magical power throughout their
lives, eventually developing the ability to waddle clumsily up onto
land. Huge adult aíǰe are irascible and can be violent, lashing out
with fangs or with magical songs that can sway entire villages.
Ancient elder aíǰe swim in fresh and salt water alike, growing
to immense size with thick, callused skin, but are more
patient than in their adult years and sometimes bestow
blessings and healing on the lucky few that encounter
them.

Alicanto

These small flightless birds live in hills and caves where precious
metal and ores can be found. Their feathers bear a brilliant
metallic shine in bright light, and even glow in areas of darkness,
with their color reflecting the type of ore the alicanto has most
recently consumed. When they lay eggs, the shells are typically
made of the same metal, and cruel hunters may poach their eggs
to sell or melt down. Some alicantos are coppery green, but most
commonly their feathers are cool silver or burnished gold. Their
feathers are always a glowing, gleaming silvery-white.

Metal Eaters. Alicantos hunger for metals much like a xornSRD,
and clever prospectors who spot an alicanto may follow them
through the mountains hoping that the bird’s unerring sense for
ore might lead them to a rich deposit. Legend has it that alicantos
can sense the intentions of creatures nearby, however, and that
if they perceive those following them to be too greedy or not of
good heart, they may lead them off a cliff or into an ambush by
predators.

Alux

An alux is a creature of field, stone, and cave. Aluxes are helpful
to their friends, but suspicious, mischievous, and even dangerous
to strangers. Farmers value their assistance in growing maize and
performing various helpful chores. Aluxes look like tiny people
with wide staring eyes, dressed in ordinary rustic clothing.

Little Houses. Farmers sometimes attract aluxes intentionally,
by building little stone houses with appropriate offerings. If an alux
is pleased, it will cross over from the Feywild and serve a tenancy
of seven years. Farmers sometimes seal or destroy the little
houses after seven years, as an unbound alux is unpredictable.

Tiny But Proud. An alux is generally benign and secretive.
However, they can be offended by destruction of nature,
trespassing, being talked about by name, or unsuitable offerings.
An offended alux may engage in pranks or sabotage.

Subtle. Aluxes rarely make themselves visible, and do not like
the attention of strangers (who may be dangerous). Although
rarely seen, an alux has potent nature magic.

Amaru

Amarus are primal creatures who have flown the skies since ancient
times. An amaru has a long, serpentine body, condor-like wings,
four legs ending in dangerous talons, and a puma-like face. They
can converse with humanoids, but rarely do so unless the petitioner
can pique their curiosity or sympathy. An
amaru may turn is wrath
on the impudent or profane,
or it may choose to guide and
protect innocent beings. At other
times, they seem as capricious and
destructive as nature itself in its fury.
It is difficult to bribe an amaru, as
there are few things they truly need
or covet. However, they are not above
temptation if the prize is truly great.

Territorial. Amarus, much like
dragons, create lairs in high places. Their
territories are often near but not overlapping
with those of their own kind. An amaru is unlikely to
challenge a dragon unless enraged, but will without
hesitation drive away most other intruders that
threaten its domain. Amarus rarely amass coins, but
may collect gems, pieces of art, or magic items. They live alone,
entertaining only the most powerful and intriguing guests, if any.

Earth and Sky. Amarus are masters of the elemental forces
of earth and air, able to fly through storms and even call down
lightning. Their range extends even to the Ethereal and the
elemental planes, where they sometimes lair.

Araganaqlta’a

These massive snakes can be found in nearly any environment, but
they best love deep caves and dark forested rivers. The araganaqlta’a
is brightly colored in a riot of hues, with ridges of bright red saw-
toothed spikes running along each of its flanks and a double-hooked
claw at the tip of its tail. These clever shapeshifters often walk
amongst mortals in humanoid guise, almost always elegantly
dressed as befits their station. They see themselves as the rulers of
all snakes and serpentine creatures, and they expect deference if not
obedience from those to whom they reveal their true nature. The
enjoy conversation and interaction with humanoids, who possess a
cleverness that is often missing in their relations with snakes and

other beasts of the field. They enjoy rewarding those that please or
entertain them with worthy and memorable connections, but they
are quick to punish desecrators of nature and any who persecute

snakes. In its natural form the araganaqlta’a is over 30 feet long
and weighs over 700 pounds.

Grandfather Araǵanaqlta’a. None but the araganaqlta’a
themselves know whether the creature (or creatures)
called Grandfather Araganaqlta’a is actually
a unique creature or merely an
honorific granted to the eldest, wisest,

They may be primordial scions
of some elder being or a material
embodiment of the spiritual essence
of snakes. What is certain is that any
creature bearing the title of Grandfather
Araganaqlta’a has command of virtually
every snake within his domain and often have

either created or attracted many new species of snakes
unobserved anywhere else.

While some fear the giant snake entity, Grandfather
Araganaqlta’a is both intelligent and benevolent, sometimes
entertaining guests who do not draw his ire, conversing with them
and asking news of the outside world. Grandfather Araganaqlta’a
rarely acts on the affairs of mortals but has been known to do so

Cherufe

Cherufes make their homes in the caverns of active volcanoes,
where they have not only adapted to survive in these extreme
conditions, but actually thrive in the pools of molten lava
found therein. The cherufe’s unique physiology lets
it feed off of radiating heat, providing sustenance
for the creature as well as mending its wounds.
The hotter the source, the faster a cherufe recovers.
If taken away from a source of intense heat, a
cherufe slowly withers and dies, leaving behind
a stony shell of a carcass. A cherufe stands about
18 feet tall and weighs close to 8,000 pounds. As
long as it remains near a heat source, a cherufe can
live for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Vengeful Vulcanism. Due to their long lifespans,
nearby humanoids often believe the creatures
immortal, and spread legends about the
“gods of the volcanoes.” Some cultures
worship cherufes, likening them to gods
or great dragons. A cherufe’s depraved and
often malicious personality means that it particularly enjoys
receiving sacrificial victims. The creature will often toy with an
unfortunate sacrifice for days before finally decapitating the corpse
and immolating the head. Cherufes cow nearby settlements
with threats of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, though the
creatures have little desire to cause such havoc in their own
homes and usually exaggerate the power they possess.

walk normally. This grants advantage on ability checks
related to avoid being tracked in the wilderness. It also
grants disadvantage on creatures making rolls related to
tracking or investigating the curupira’s whereabouts.
Peccary Pet. Curupira often have a peccary companion

This creature is considered a fey creature rather than a

Golden Shapechanger. The swarm can polymorph into a

Medium or smaller humanoid creature up to Challenge
5. The creature always appears as an extremely
handsome version of its type, with golden skin and usually
black, white, or golden hair. In the new form the swarm
can use all the creature’s special abilities, traits and
attacks, creating the required equipment as needed.
The shapechanged eintykára retains its swarming trait in
the new form. It otherwise is identical to the polymorph
spell with a duration of 1 day and without the need to
concentrate. The eintykára loses its damage resistances
and condition immunities (other than immunity to being
charmed or frightened) when it assumes humanoid form.
Swarming. The swarm can occupy another creature’s space
and vice versa, and the swarm can move through any
opening large enough for a Tiny beast. The swarm can’t
regain hit points or gain temporary hit points. A swarm
takes half damage from attacks that use an attack roll
and double damage from effects that require it to make
a saving roll. Creatures that are not swarms are impaired
while they remain in the swarm’s space or within 5 feet of
it and have disadvantage on attack rolls and Constitution
saving throws to maintain concentration. The area of the
swarm is considered difficult terrain.

Actions

Mandible Bites (swarm form only). The swarm
automatically does 14 (4d6) piercing damage, or
7 (2d6) piercing damage if the swarm has half
of its hit points or fewer to creatures sharing
its space. A target that takes damage from
this attack must make a DC 11 Constitution
saving throw or become confused (as the
spell) due to the hallucinogenic properties
of the honey-coated mandibles.
Pheromone Surge (Recharges after a Short or
Long Rest). The eintykára can unleash a burst
of pheromones that are mildly intoxicating,
causing humanoids, beasts, and fey within 10
feet to become charmed unless they succeed
on a DC 13 Charisma saving throw. Charmed
creatures are incapacitated and have speed
0. The pheromone surge lasts only as long
as the eintykára concentrates, up to 1 minute.
Creatures with no sense of smell or that do not

breathe are immune.

Actions

Multiattack. The encantado makes two melee weapon
attacks with either its intoxicating slap or its spear.

Intoxicating Slap. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5
ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage plus
3 (1d6) psychic damage, and the target must succeed on
a DC 16 Charisma saving throw or become charmed

Spear. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5
ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage, or 8
(1d10 + 3) piercing damage if used with two hands to
make a melee attack.

Change Shape. The encantado magically polymorphs
into a dolphin or Medium humanoid that has a challenge
rating equal to or less than its own, or back into its true
form. It reverts to its true form if it dies. Any equipment it
is wearing or carrying is absorbed or borne by the new
form (the encantado’s choice).

In a new form, the encantado retains its game statistics and
ability to speak, but its AC, movement modes, Strength,
Dexterity, and other actions are replaced by those of
the new form, and it gains any statistics and capabilities
(except class features, legendary actions, and lair ations)
that the new form has but that it lacks.

Falajitax

This strange beast appears like a large serpent with beautifully
striped scales and a head like an oversized rhea bird. Its eyes glow
with feral cunning and a blaze with lambent crimson radiance
when it is angered. Its plumage is dusty but it wears ornate golden
earrings a brightly colored feathers, and odd bulges and patches of
light pulse beneath its scales as its organs undulate. The falajitax
loves humidity and brings water wherever it goes in the form of
falling rain and springs welling up from below the ground.

Sinister Shaper. The falajitax is a cunning hunter, sometimes
luring creatures into its clutches by hiding its serpentine body
and allowing only its bird-like head to show amid foliage.
While the creature is not particularly agile, it easily transitions
from land to water to trees in pursuit of prey. It also uses its
shapechanging powers to assume an innocuous form like a horse
or lures people into riding it, galloping with them into a river or
lake to drown them.

Natural Guardians. The falajitax sometimes appoint
themselves as guardians of natural treasures or places of natural
beauty, and they have a particular fondness for honey. They
protect such hives from exploitation as they tend to them
and sup the honey for themselves, though if properly
approached with singing and offering of aromatic
ointments, they can sometimes be persuaded to
peacefully coexist with local shamans and their
villages to share such precious commodities.
