Ecology

Shadow Fey Guardian is a sentient species with its own culture, settlements, and political structure. It is most often found in any regions. It is large-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.

Behaviour

Shadow Fey Guardian is driven by culture, faction, and personal motive; can be reasoned with, bribed, or betrayed. 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. Spellcasting expands its repertoire well beyond what its physical stat block alone suggests.

Origin

Shadow Fey Guardian is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 1 (2016). Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
