A leshy is a humanoid-esque tutelary spirit with a close bond to natural elements. They may appear as a pale peasant with backward shoes, but in their true form are similar tall satyrs with elk-like antlers and hair and beards of vine and grass. The paleness of their white skin is contrasted by the piercingness of their bright green eyes. Their blood is blue, as are their cheeks, and they do not possess a right ear. Some leshy also wear a red scarf and a left shoe on their right hoof. Forest Father. Leshy are devoted forest guardians and are not too keen on sharing territory with each other. Fights between leshy send trees to the ground and animals frightened and running. Leshy are, however, even more, protective of the forest from other beings, especially humanoids. Using their human form, leshy will warn them not to go into the woods "if you want to keep your head." That's the only warning; if not heeded, the leshy will proceed to lure them, with sounds the intruders would find familiar, to their caves, where they are either tickled to death or given a stern talking to. |
