Ecology
Rochade is a creature of the Feywild, bound to seasonal cycles, oaths, and the strange logic of fey courts. It is most often found in underground regions. It is small-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Rochade is governed by oaths, bargains, and a sense of beauty alien to mortals. Its 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.
Origin
Rochade is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 3 (2022). 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.
