Hobgoblins

Hobgoblins are the natives of the Hedge. Changelings are not. This cannot be stressed enough.

Per the book, hobs come in every variety of sentience/sapience, and every size. When using hobs in your scenes, please remember that even wild animals will recognize people, and will remember them as threats. If your hobs have any intelligence at all, they are not going to appreciate being murdered.

A list of hobs can be found below. Only very brief summaries are given, with quick-reference stats for combat purposes. Parentheses in skill lists indicate specialties. Where the book does not give more detailed stats, you will need to fudge a version of the base Hob stats below.

For a list of hedgebeasts, look here.

• Description - Hob appearance varies, but they are always bipedal, and roughly humanoid. They can be withered or robust, and are typically considerably shorter than a human.

Animmaculates

• Book - DitD p.98
• Description - A wide variety of hobgoblins which appear to be composed of clockwork/otherwise mechanical parts integrated in to the body of a normal animal, carnivorous or herbivorous. No one knows whether or not they are natural or created. Each is unique. They neither eat nor drink, nor excrete. See book for detailed descriptions. They are always at least as intelligent as the type of creature they resemble, and often more intelligent, some to the point of speech. They will attack if provoked, but will help if given fruit/tokens/info.

Billy Birch

• Book - DitD p.100

Has special affinity for wind, and trades information for stories, any story, even if it's just reciting a TV show's plot. Only found when he wants to be found (i.e. ask Staff if you plan to use him in a PRP), and won't attack unless you attack him or lie to him. He hates lies.

• Fae Aspects:

  Zephyr's Tale: Sim. to Dream contract "Pathfinder" -- as long as the wind is blowing, Billy can determine exactly who or what is in his immediate vicinity, and knows exactly which paths lead where, period, and secrets about the areas he is going through.

  Rising Ire: During combat only, Billy may activate any Stone clause without Glamour, without having to use the catch. In addition, the wind carries his howls of anger to ANY Hedge dweller/denizen, including Gentry, who will ALL leap to defend him. Yes, even Gentry will help him. No one knows why.

Blackhaw

• Book - DitD p.102
• Description - Rare, but long-lived, the Blackhaw trees can be found throughout the Hedge, in any climate. They are similar to mundane hawthorns, but they never bloom despite having berries, and they are solitary: only one tree will be in a given territory. Hedge denizens consider them bad luck. Flocks of ravens perch in their branches, but the ravens are part of the tree, with tentacles animating them. More or less, the tree deceives you and tries to turn you into fertilizer if you come within reach. See book for details.

Blindbirds, Creatures of Ill Omen

• Book - ER p.138
• Description - Large, sleek black carrion birds. Ravens, condors, vultures, etc., but most are corvid. Their eyes universally appear to have been gouged out, often leaving burning pits behind, but they see perfectly well. They only approach if they feel they have something to gain, or if someone is so exhausted they look like easy prey. They speak of past events in the present tense and current events in the future tense. They never discuss the future.

Bloodsuckle

• Book - AN p.120
• Description - A leafless woody vining plant with a root structure that splays out across the surface, rather than below. It is covered in jagged gray bark with splinters and cracks revealing red-brown gum between bark and core, and can either be spread around in a net, or twining up surfaces. It can be found in the wilderness or urban environments, and isn't picky about its prey: if you get close enough, it tries to lightning-swift snag you, entangle you and consume you, hopefully after you are dead. Not always. Book has a VERY DETAILED description of everything. Strongly recommend reading it, since it involves how to actually kill the buggers.
