   * these have special 
	 encounter details.

BOGGAN: Small Fey; HD 1 (D6); AC 15; MOVE 20 ft.; ATK Weapon (weapons); STR DEX INT; SPECIAL: Spell-like Abilities (Dancing Lights, Ghost Sound, Mage Hand, Sleep); XP 25+1

Boggans are short (2-3 ft. in height), wiry little faeries with elongated noses and large feet. They tend to wear long, brightly colored stocking caps and tend to be quite acrobatic. Boggans live for practical jokes, and will play them incessantly on anyone they encounter. The angrier a victim gets, the more the boggan will try to annoy him or her. Exceptional poor sports will instantly be “adopted” by the boggan, who will then follow the poor soul everywhere he or she goes. While a boggan can be a tremendous nuisance, there have been legends that speak of boggans actually helping those of good alignments – albeit in their own maddening way. The only way to truly get rid of a boggan (aside from killing it outright) is to perform a practical joke the boggan has never seen before. Once a boggan learns a new trick, it will quickly disappear and go hunting for new victims to annoy.

JACKDAW: Small Fey; HD 1 (2 hp); MOVE 20 ft. (hopping) 60 ft. (flying); AC 13; ATK: Beak (1D6), Claws (1D6); STR DEX INT; XP: 20 +1

Jackdaws are a breed of highly-intelligent crows with the ability to speak the tongues of humanoid races. In fact, talking is what jackdaws do best. Constantly gossiping and carrying on, a single jackdaw could be a valuable source of information while an entire flock could quickly lead one to gibbering insanity. Despite their talkativeness, jackdaws are highly sought out for use as spies and informants. Getting a jackdaw to agree to this, however, is no easy task. Jackdaws are extremely shrewd in their dealings with humanoids. While it is true that a jackdaw is drawn to shiny objects, they will bargain like a gypsy in order to maximize their advantage in any deal.

OAKMAN: Large Fey; HD 3d10 (15); MOVE 30 ft.; AC 15; ATK Weapon; STR DEX INT; SPECIAL: Spell-like Abilities (functions as a 3rd level spell-caster); XP: 75

Guardians of the sacred groves, oakmen are legendary for their vengeance upon those who would despoil the forests. They appear as stocky, dwarvish creatures with mossy beards and a dark complex. Their ability to blend with their surroundings is also legendary, as it is nearly impossible to surprise an oakman. Although they speak little, oakmen are generally kind to all creatures unless they are provoked. They shun cities and large encampments, preferring to live quietly in the deepest parts of the wood.

SPRIGGAN: Small Fey; HD 4d8 (23 hp); MOVE 25 ft.; AC 17; ATK: Weapon (weapons)
STR DEX INT; SPECIAL: Spell-like Abilities (functions as a 5th level illusionist); XP: 500

Ugly faerie guardians, spriggans are known both for their sour dispositions and their fierceness in protecting their charges. Spriggans are employed by the faerie court to guard and keep anything from treasure hoards to sacred remains. Spriggans appear as misshapen little gnomes with crooked legs and leering eyes. Stubborn doesn't begin to describe a spriggans personality. Nothing short of killing them will convince them to shirk their duty. Spriggans have been known to doggedly track thieves and usurpers for years. In combat, a spriggan will employ all its' magical powers and use any other means necessary to keep its' charge safe. “As faithful as a hound, and as ugly as sin” is a common anecdote describing spriggans.
