Born in Elysium and formed from planar energies charged by pleasant dreams, these servants of Desna watch over and study dreaming mortal minds. Uinujas live in collective mindscapes, which are often moonlit islands where rock spires rise to great heights, topped by large cocoons of night-blue silk. These azatas both hunt and are hunted by the painajai demons (see page 19) who serve Desna’s rival, Lamashtu. Dreamthief hags (see page 22) and mortal dream travelers who disturb dreamers might also incur the ire of uinujas. Uinujas enjoy stories about the stars and planes, particularly the Material Plane, which they can usually only see through mortals’ dreams. When uinujas are happy, their wings glow iridescently, while at other times their wings take on a calmer blue or a sullen gray hue. An uinuja stands 9 feet tall and weighs 500 pounds.

They carry lances, which, though tiny to the human way of thinking, are twice as long as their own bodies. Each dragonfly mount is equipped with a minuscule tack of unknown derivation, including a saddle and tiny pallets on the fly’s underside that carry the substances for which the twk bargain. They wear gauzy one-piece smocks. Instinct: Gather information

Deodands are intelligent, man-eating humanoids rumored to be borne of a sorcerous experiment. Deodands appear as handsome, muscular men with dull charcoal-black skin, long sharp fangs, and slitted golden or white eyes. The typical deodand prefers to wear a leather harness with bits of velvet or other rich clothes attached. A Deodand prefers to hunt with stealth and strangle its prey quietly. Though vicious and unremitting in his desire to eat other humanoids, the deodand is also cowardly. If obviously overpowered or reduced in hit points it will beg and plead for his life, often offering to guide a party. Adventurers should remain vigilant however if they take the creature up on any offer, as a deodand is not to be trusted. Instinct: Devours
