Dvorovoi

Creature 3 — fey

ShadeLANDfey

Traditionally, the dvorovoi is seen as the domovoi's younger sibling and has charge of a peasant's yard and all the animals and tools within. Animals favored by the dvorovoi become healthy, strong, and obedient, while less-loved livestock are exhausted and miserable. Peasants with a resident dvorovoi make sure to formally introduce new livestock to the house spirit and placate the spirit by leaving meals in the shed. Dvorovoi loathe white-furred animals and will chase away any all-white cows or

Abilities

Tremorsense (Imprecise) within their entire bound yard — Tremorsense allows a monster to feel the vibrations through a solid surface caused by movement. It is an imprecise sense with a limited range (listed in the ability). Tremorsense functions only if the monster is on the same surface as the subject, and only if the subject is moving along (or burrowing through) the surface.
Master of the Yard — The dvorovoi helps or causes trouble in the yard, milking or scaring cows, protecting or scattering tools, and so forth. A yard so blessed never encounters random accidents such as fires, and any checks to Craft, Earn Income, Repair, or Subsist in the yard receive a +2 circumstance bonus. If the dvorovoi is unfriendly, such checks take a –2 circumstance penalty instead, as the dvorovoi hides things, makes noise when people try to sleep, tangles weaving, and otherwise makes life a misery. A domovoi must spend a week in a place before these benefits occur.
At-Will Spells — The monster can cast its at-will spells any number of times without using up spell slots.
Shy — A dvorovoi is naturally Invisible while within sight of their bound home. The dvorovoi can become visible, or even selectively visible-allowing some people to see them.
