Homebrew Fey Cherub Species Details

Fey Wondering Spirits
Originally sent to be the guardians of good creatures and the Aasimar before the calamity, cherubs split between different planes of existance now live for themselves in small communities and bands. The Fey cherubs enjoy a lavish life adapting to the world around them and the humourful fun of pranking the being who call it home. As such, the fey cherub has evolved from that of its original ancestor to be more of a being of the fey than that of celestial decent. However, if darkness crosses at their boarders or word of an evil that needs to be stopped reaches their small ears they form council, discuss the threat and if need be dispatch their warriors, hunters, scouts and adventurers to aid the good creatures and put down the threatening evils.
At these times in the midst of battle heros and warriors can be seen with a small "Familiar" type creature, blasting opponents with beams of magic and blessing their companions whilst blowing raspberries and throwing tomartos at some unsuspecting creature.

 

Small and Cunning
Cherubs are small curious creatures, clever and whitty and knowledgable about the fey wild. Standing no larger than 2 foot tall, and being as small as 24 inch tall, Fey Cherub's usually float on a small etheral cloud or use a set of 4 'fly like' wings with varying shapes and sizes.
Cherubs take on slight environmental features of their being, ones living in thick foliage would have elements of vines plants and flowers naturally interwoven with their body, ones that live within the clouds grow fluffy white cotton hair and have exagurated lightning bolt style wings and ones that live underwater would grow gills, their wings acting as fins in the ocean and they adorne thick seaweed like hair.

Cherubs tend to fight with magic, as is their nature and their natural affiliation to magic relying on their speed, flight and small size to keep out of the way of combat. Only a few specialized and well trained Cherubs break this tradition.
