Ovinnik
Creature 4 — fey
ShadeWeaverLANDVERTICALfey
The ovinnik is the most ferocious of house spirits, and the only one that will kill if sufficiently angered. They live in granaries, storage rooms, and sheds where food—particularly grain—is kept. Ovinniks resemble bipedal cats but bark like a dog to scare away thieves, and they often demand gifts of milk, pancakes, and dead roosters. House spirits are shy, often helpful, sometimes wrathful fey who dwell alongside peasants and farmers. They reside in the house, the yard, the granary, the bathhou

Abilities
Tremorsense (Imprecise) within their entire bound granary or storeroom — 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 Granary — A home with a friendly ovinnik is blessed, as the ovinnik preserves food from vermin and mold.
A home so blessed never suffers from random accidents such as fires, and any checks to Craft, Earn Income, Repair, or Subsist in the home receive a +2 circumstance bonus. If the ovinnik is unfriendly, such checks take a -2 circumstance penalty instead, as the ovinnik causes devastating fires and infestations
An ovinnik must spend a week in a place before these benefits occur.

Shy — An ovinnik is naturally Invisible while within sight of their bound home. The ovinnik can become visible, or even selectively visible-allowing some people to see them.
Raise Grain Cloud — While in their bound storeroom or granary, the ovinnik slams a paw against the ground, stirring up a cloud of grain dust in an 20-foot emanation.
Within this cloud, they gain a +4 status bonus to any fire damage they deal. The ovinnik doubles their fire resistance against this increased damage. The grain cloud dissipates after the first such effect or after 1 minute if no such effects occur.
