Homebrew Pixiebear Species Details
Pixiebears were always a myth during my childhood, I was often miserable and sad and they never brought me joy, which I found very unfair. Then when my child was sulking in her room like a baby, which she did all THE TIME, the pixiebears visited her and everything changed. She stopped living inside the castle and went to festivals and parades with the common folk and whenever she came home she was way happy than when she left which was also super unfair. In conclusion pixiebears are unfair and suck.
The ultimate goal of most pixiebear's is joy and collecting hats. Pixiebears love hats. No one knows why but they are hoarded by post pixiebears like dragons hoard gold. They are very rarely seen wearing hats but procure them regularly. Pixiebears do not strive for material gain, but work to spread joy and happiness to wherever they visit, they love peace and are rarely seen in times of war or danger.
Pixiebear's are mischievous and playful, they live lives of trickery. It is never meant to be harmful, although there are some who use their powers for EVIL (stealing cookies, pies and other baked goods).
No one quite knows where pixiebears came from, somewhere deep within the faewild is likely, as that is where they are often seen.
They have never been a collective species, finding no community within themselves. They often live with bigger bears and owlbears.
Small and Playful
Pixiebears are rare and difficult to find and they survive through hiding and being harmless. This is sort of unnecessary information as pixiebears are loved by all. Standing about 3 feet tall, they appear relatively harmless and so have managed to survive for centuries. They are inclined to be stout, weighing between 40 and 45 pounds.
Pixiebears are found in three types; root, trunk and leaf. Root pixiebears are brown and muddy, trunk are light brown and fluffy, leaf are dark green and silky soft. They are impartial to clothes, but if they do wear clothes, it is often dungarees.
Pixiebears want for nothing, no currency and no food, they live off the land happily. Their motivations are purely joy and levity.
Creative and Generous
Pixiebears are curious to find many ways of creating joy and often are very creative with this.
Pixiebears are easily moved to pity and hate to see any living thing suffer. They are generous, happily helping with magic even in lean times.
A Rare Find and An Even Rarer Friend
Pixiebears are adept at fitting into a community of humans, dwarves, or elves, making themselves valuable and welcome. The combination of their inherent stealth and their unassuming nature helps them avoid attention.
Pixiebears aid others, and they are loyal to their friends. They often disappear when their friends, families, or communities are threatened.
Shushed Situations
Pixiebears live quiet lives, and don't always show up, but when they do, they are full of life and joy.
AFFABLE AND POSITIVE
Pixiebears try to get along with everyone else and are loath to make sweeping generalizations—especially negative ones.
Dwarves. “Dwarves make loyal friends, and you can count on them to keep their word. But would it hurt them to smile once in a while?”
Elves. “They’re so beautiful! Their faces, their music, their grace and all. It’s like they stepped out of a wonderful dream. But there’s no telling what’s going on behind their smiling faces—surely more than they ever let on.”
Humans. “If you step out of the castles and keeps, go talk to the farmers and herders and you’ll find good, solid folk. Not that there’s anything wrong with the barons and soldiers—you have to admire their conviction. And by protecting their own lands, they protect us as well.”
Hats
Ultimately its all about hats
