Vexgit

Creature 1 — fey, gremlin

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

SnareLANDVERTICALfeygremlin

These gremlins are covered head-to-toe by a crustacean-like exoskeleton that clacks and rattles whenever a vexgit moves. They delight in sabotaging the works of other creatures, often turning these works into dangerous traps. An individual vexgit might jam a door lock, loosen the wheels on a carriage, or remove nails from a boat hull. Buildings infested by vexgits become filled with traps like portcullises descending suddenly, water pipes exploding violently, and clock towers disgorging an avala

Abilities

Clacking Exoskeleton — A creature that can hear gains a +2 circumstance bonus to its Perception DC against a vexgit's attempts to Sneak.
Destructive Smash — A vexgit's maul Strike against an object deals ignores up to 5 of the object's Hardness.
Gremlin Snare (primal) — Frequency once per hour

Effect The vexgit creates a snare of their level or lower that normally takes 1 minute to craft at no cost. A single vexgit can maintain one gremlin snare at a time-if they create a new snare, the previously created one vanishes.
Rusting Grasp (primal) — Frequency once per hour

Effect The vexgit makes a +9 spell attack against a creature or unattended object. If they succeed, the vexgit deals damage (doubled on a critical hit) to a metal item the target is wearing or holding, ignoring its Hardness. If they hit an unattended metal item, the item takes this damage automatically.

If a creature uses Shield Block with a metal shield against this attack, the shield is automatically Broken, but no other item is rusted on that attack.
Speedy Sabotage — When a vexgit succeeds or critically succeeds at a check to Disable a Device, they gain an additional success toward disabling a complex device.
Primal Innate Spells DC 17, attack +7
1st Alarm
Cantrips (1st) Prestidigitation

WORKS WELL WITH

CrasherLAND / VERTICALA burst attacker capitalizes on a target already caught by this fey saboteur's snare before it can escape.
ShadeLAND / VERTICALA stealth ambusher exploits the same climbing sightlines this fey saboteur uses to stay hidden while it sabotages gear.

PUNISHES

✖ static positioning✖ metal equipment reliance✖ predictable routes
Multiple Snare-type controllers create redundant hazards that clutter the same terrain.
