Ecology
Orphan of the Black is a creature of the Feywild, bound to seasonal cycles, oaths, and the strange logic of fey courts. It is most often found in planar regions. It is small-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Orphan of the Black is governed by oaths, bargains, and a sense of beauty alien to mortals. Its Neutral Evil 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.
Origin
Orphan of the Black is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 2 (2020). 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.
