New Monster: Tiddy Mun

DESCRIPTION These spirits of the bog appear as old men that are approximately the size a three-year-old child, with long tangled hair and a matted beard. They make their homes in fen (a type of wetland fed by mineral-rich surface water or groundwater) and their laughter resembles the warbling call of a lapwing. Their gray-green robes make them particularly difficult to see in boggy areas at night, providing them a -2 bonus to their AC under those conditions. Tiddy mun are guardians of nature, often becoming malevolent toward those who harm or destroy it, inflicting them with misfortune and pestilence. They can, however, be forgiving, becoming benevolent toward those who try to right any wrongs they may have inflicted upon nature. Tiddy mun can use the following druid spells twice per day each (casting as a 7th level druidical cleric): predict weather, detect snares and pits, detect magic, purify water, obscurement (mist), create water, cause disease (pestilence), plant growth, and water breathing. They are also able to speak with plants, as well as speaking dryad, elvish, pixieish, and sprite. Tiddy mun do not usually carry weapons, but will take up a club if forced to defend their self or their surroundings.
