Ecology
Fear Smith is a creature of the Feywild, bound to seasonal cycles, oaths, and the strange logic of fey courts. It is most often found in any regions. It is medium-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Fear Smith is governed by oaths, bargains, and a sense of beauty alien to mortals. Its Chaotic Neutral alignment shapes how it engages with the world — predictable in tendency, even when unpredictable in detail. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember. Spellcasting expands its repertoire well beyond what its physical stat block alone suggests.
Origin
Fear Smith is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 1 (2016). Fey trace to the Feywild and the eternal courts of the seasons — the Seelie and Unseelie, or older powers. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
