Leanan Sidhe

CR 9.00 Fey CN Medium
This serene woman has pointed ears and flowing crimson hair, and wears an elegant dress and a crown of twigs.

Leanan sidhe are regal fey who pride themselves as patrons of the arts. By establishing a magical link with a talented mortal performer or artist, the leanan sidhe enhances her target's skill, but slowly feeds on his life energy. Many tragic stories of talented artists who have a creative burst and then fall into obscurity or suddenly die can be attributed to the influence of these creatures. A leanan sidhe prefers to avoid direct combat and relies on her minions and devotees to protect her—all of whom hope to become her next special project, despite the cost of this arrangement.
