by you for the spell’s duration. If you or one of your companions harms the target, the spells ends.
Description
The Bowtruckle, which is a usually peaceful creature, is incredibly shy. It eats insects, and rarely leaves its treetop home. However, Bowtruckles have been known to offer companionship to those who prove themselves a friend to the forest. Bowtruckles have exceptional natural camouflage and an uncanny knack for picking locks.
