He's basically going to be a cute little cartoony groundhog he hates this
Required ● Rodent-like teeth. These can be the singular incisors of rodents, or the double incisors of rabbits. ● Rabbit or rodent-like ears, which come with enhanced hearing. ● Fur on the back, shoulders, and arms. ● Claws on their hands and feet. These are both incredibly sharp and very durable, capable of digging through solid rock. ● Stronger legs. Pookas are one of the faster monsters in Ryslig. They are also able to leap and jump up to six times their own height, be it straight into the air or across distances. The Pooka's kicking strength is also incredibly high, able to kick through stone walls. ● Increased senses. The Pooka may either have a stronger sense of smell and the ability to track others via scent, or an increased range of vision and the ability to see in the ultraviolet spectrum, or both. ● A shorter stature. Pookas tend to be much smaller than other creatures, similar to Goblins. ● Pookas are skilled liars, and skirt away from responsibility. However, Pookas are bound to the oaths they make and are unable to break a promise. ● A burrowing instinct. Pookas feel safest when able to make a shelter underground. ● A need to feed on the blood or bone marrow of humans. This may require them to hunt their own live prey, or they may scavenge the kills of others.
Optional ● Blood-red or golden eyes. ● Rootless or continually-growing teeth. If unchecked, the teeth of the Pooka can grow long enough to no longer fit within their mouths, distorting the shape of their face and jaws. To maintain more normal-sized teeth, Pookas will have the compulsion to wear them down via frequent chewing. They will default to gnawing on human or monster bones, but trees, rocks, and other hard materials may suffice. ● Any amount of rabbit or rodent features, including nose and whiskers, additional fur, digitigrade legs, cheek pouches, or a tail. ● A travel form based on an allowed species. ● Thrill-seeking nature. Pookas enjoy little more than going out at night to paint the town red, figuratively or literally. Their companions may find they have a hard time remembering everything that happened, but Pookas are always up for a wild ride. ● Vindictive nature. Pookas delight in the misfortune of others, and their favorite phrase is "I told you so" when calamity befalls those around them. They also do not take well to being turned down or slighted, no matter how small the reason, and will often lash out against those who reject them. ● Tracking ability. Pookas are able to "mark" up to ten objects or people, and can follow their trails from any location. These marks fade naturally after a week; if the Pooka tries marking an eleventh thing, one of the first ten will disappear. The more marks a Pooka has set, the harder it becomes for them to remember which mark is which. The sense the Pooka uses to track these marks — either by scent or by sight — depends on which of their senses has increased. ● Transformative abilities. Using their fae magic, a Pooka can change their face and build to mimic that of another character. They cannot gain physical limbs, but they will be able to project an illusion of extra limbs or wings. Pookas will need to put in work to perfect the illusion, resulting in ‘glitches’ for inexperienced monsters. Glitches can include clipping through surrounding scenery, creating two mismatched limbs, or sheering out like an overhead projector image — feel free to be creative with the errors! Pookas must retain their Pooka features during this transformation. A Pooka who keeps their ears hidden will be able to fool even their disguise’s closest friends. They may transform themselves once per day, and the transformation lasts for up to one hour. ● A need for social contact. Whether it's as trusted companions living together, hunting partners, or dragging strangers out with them for a night on the town, Pookas will go out of their way to be around others. They detest solitude.
