Homebrew Pegamouse, The Firefly Cherub Species Details
Many eons ago, an elf Druid, Mor'oh was banned from his enclave for magically cross breeding various beasts. He was banished for violating the "Laws of Nature". Undeterred by his banishment, Mor'oh continued his unnatural experiments. The Druid had as many failures as he had successes. The Pegamouse was bred magically combining the aspects of a Terrier, Eagle, and Mouse (Canid, Avian, and Rodent). Mor'oh cheekily called it a Flying C.A.R. pet. Most rangers and learned scholars call it a Canis Aves Rodentia familiaris, the Pegamouse. Locals call it the Firefly Cherub
Pegamouse, The Firefly Cherub Traits
Pegamice of the Upper Planes, Firefly Cherubs embody innocence wrapped in celestial purpose. Though no larger than a songbird, they shine with radiant light and unyielding devotion to harmony. Their glowing wings and gentle natures make them natural guides to the lost and protectors of the meek. A Firefly Cherub’s presence alone can still fear, mend wounds, or rally courage, and when pressed into battle, these tiny guardians defend with surprising bravery.Innate Spellcasting.
At will: light, thaumaturgy
1/day each: cure wounds, shield of faith, calm emotions
Glowing Presence.
The Firefly Cherub sheds dim light in a 10-foot radius and bright light in a 5-foot radius. Allies within the glow have advantage on saving throws against being frightened.
Heavenly Wings.
While flying, the Firefly Cherub can hover and is unaffected by difficult terrain created by non-magical means.
Action
Radiant Nuzzle. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature.
Hit: 1d4 + 3 radiant damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 13 Charisma saving throw or be charmed until the end of the Firefly Cherub’s next turn.
Protective Flutter
When an ally within 10 feet is targeted by an attack, the Firefly Cherub can dash between the attacker and the target, imposing disadvantage on the attack roll. If attack is successful, damage is equally split between the Firefly Cherub and the intended target. The Firefly Cherub will usually use this reaction to protect the being it has bonded with.
