A dyfon is a small, magical, carnivorous mammals that, generally incapable of killing by itself, instead manipulates groups of humanoids into murdering one of their own, each corpse supplying the dyfon with food for months. A dyfon is only semi-intelligent, and tends to follow a predictable strategy. Leading up to an attack, a dyfon will continually interrupt their targets' rest and downtime with harrowing imitations of a babe screaming. Once the sleep-deprived targets have grown irritable, the dyfon leaves a piece of jewelry in their path. These trinkets carry a hard-to-detect curse peculiar to the dyfon: once worn by someone, they bind themselves to that person for life and the curse replaces itself with an obvious a magical enchantment, but one that would only be useful were the item worn by one of the wearer's companions. The dyfon then watches for signs of jealousy or conflict and uses its magic to sustain and strengthen those emotions. A dyfon, though stronger and flightless, closely resembles a cave bat, and often escapes adventurers' notice by hiding among colonies. Instinct: to instigate murder
