Description
Clurichauns are the Hobb cousins to Leprechauns. Now we all know Leprechauns can drink, I mean seriously, why ask, they’re Irish. But Clurichauns have gotten them beat. Leprechauns don’t even know how that’s possible, but it’s true.Clurichauns are the known drunks of the Seelie Court. They often break into the cellars of humans and, better yet, dwarves and drink their stores. The dwarves will tell you, “If ye’ find that yer meads all dried up fer no good reason then ye cin be sure ye got some Clurichauns squatting near yer stores.” It’s best to just hire a mage or Bogarts at that point.
But the poor little guys are not violent drunks or mean people, they are just serious alcoholics to the point of criminal addictiveness. They’re actually happy drunks and the Pixies will tell you they are the best to have at parties, just keep extra alcohol hidden so everyone can get their fair share.

Rather nice to hear about there being nice drunks and heck if those guys can drink that much and still be a pleasant party guest, heck please feel free to bring a few more of the girl clurichauns when you can. ^o^
Very interesting these few pieces you recently posted and how they all have something to do with the leprechauns and something entirely new to their family than just the bugger trying to horde his Lucky Charms cereal, lol. Regardless were the other families your own ideas or did you learn them from a few fantasy tales like Greek Mythology and its endless creatures?
Like the almost Santa's Helpers look they do have with their choice of dress and pointy hats. Yet there's still your own touch of style to them how your vary up their looks with the shoes, long hanging clothes to even the larger piece of hair for the lass on the right.
Also very good expression work showing you their tilting nature after a few drinks and damn can't help but chuckle how iconic those drunk bubbles still are even with common toons or movies today, plus just love the idea there being some fun drunks out there to party with, lol.
Wickedly sharp work on the lines can say, again spotting the tones varying from the shoes, even more amazing how you still keep some parts so articulated like the hand and even the way the fingers differ from the bony male to the feminine nails of the drunken lass there, wicked stuff lvl9Drow.

hmmm, would add more personally. if they can be an entire species of drunks, thus they do not die of alcohol poisoning, that may mean they are highly immune to toxins in general. when you have a fey type creature, one could say that they each have their own unique natual magic. one could have it that the clurichaun a able to resist most toxins and even digest them. that means royal courts could hire them as food tasters of a special kind; the ones that don't die if ti is poison.

I would imagine they have a high poison tolerance. Are just generally alchoholic prone. They don't HAVE to be drunk just as dwarves, who are known for drinking as well, don't have to be drunks either. A non drunk Clurichain? Well i imagine he is a pleasane quant fellow with good manners and humble oputlook, mutch like a brownie. I don't know that they should be totally immune to toxins though, as they are not known to do all sorts of other poisons for recreation. Some of the Seelie court fey aren't very epic but have a tone of personality and should be added anyways, even if they are not powerful, because it adds flavor to the world. I doubt seriously if a Leprechaun, Clurichaun, Brownie, bogart, or otherwise, would be able to best, let alone kill a human adult, especialy a skilled human adult, but that's ok. These fey live within the protecion of fairy society, they have things like treants, spriggans, Bauchans, dwarves and such to suck up all the glory and fighting. Not all magical creatures are super dangerous killers, nor should they be.

true, you should not have nothing but deadly creatures. though i design it that my creatures are capable of defending themselves when needed with but are not a naturally lethal species........ however, i do have it that magic can be done by such beings, and thsu they can, if forced, kill an enemy. my lesser nymphs, like pixies and sprites, are tough enough that not even a full grown bear can cause substantial injury because of their supernatural nature, but they are fully capable of killing a man because of their magic. not very many people try to kill sprites or pixies, as they are useful, which is to the sprite and pixie disadvantage; they will not attack unless their lives are threatened.
nymphs, not so much. nymphs i depict as being wild. they will kill if a threat is only supposed. unless you go up to them stark naked they will attack. nymphs also do not trust msot mortals because of mortal tendencies of consuming more than the world produces; no i do not make it solely humans, and many non human sapient beings are far worse.
the likes of the giant races, like trolls and such, are actually rather calm to intruders. however they will know you ar ea threat the moment ot intend violence.
actually the only supernatural s3epcies i can think of that even have creatures who are simply just killers are some breeds of demons, a few artificial angels, and technically orcs.

I totally agree, like if they have warior or adept skilled members of their ranks. A pixie sorceress would make short work of a human warior in most cases. I was just mentioning the "average", relatively speaking, members of fayrie society. Leprechauns, i believe, are typically mundane members mostly being Cobblers, althouth it would be interesting to see a Leprechaun warior, rogue or mage. I would imagine that is an extremely lucky adventurer. lol. It's funny because i have luck as a stat in my world, so i can already imagine the bonus they are goung to have racialy. It will be fun finally adding stats to all these critters.

actually i depict the likes of pixies as not having what one would consider social classes. they are not a society, yet are perhaps more intelligent than mortals. i depict daemon as mostly loners or preferring small groups, somehow as sapient as mortals yet as bestial as animals simultaneiously, yet at the same time not being one or tyhe other. however at the same time, this lack fo classing, one coud say, allows them all similar powers, though often you see the older or more......mortal like specimens having slightly different abilities or preferences.
basically fey i use as a term for the spirits and more ethereal creatures. elves would be an example of more material world type fey, lesser fey, and thus a creature that creates societies. daemon do not behave in the same way as mortals, without any definable society. though there are many examples of small groups of daemon working and living together, creating things, though they do not have social structures like farmers or policing organizations. most jsut do as their ethereal instincts tell them; aid growth, kill evil beings and creatures, learn and study, sustain nature, aid souls, aid humans, tempt mortals to weed out the wicked, etc. the lack the same ambitions, though at times they cna seek ambitious things. they are both capable of just followign their instincts and by tommorrow travel with a band of adventurers as if they are well experienced with it.
you have a big problem if you see hundreds fo daemon grouping together. when they do that, they are about to do something. largely at times they are about to attack a race of mortals that are going far too far, like making nuclear weapons or somethin. to be honest, my daemon in fact do not seek to Retard or Prevent advancements, they simply seek to eliminate anything that could cause a massive disruption, and it turns out weapons of mass destruction are such a thing. i do have plenty of societies that have advanced quite far without attracting the wrath of daemon by just being careful. though a large number of those rely on using magic as a source of power and advancement.
problem is that a lot of species have not gotten the fucking hint in my mythos. if yo uare advancing, do not cause massive pollution, kill millions of people for no reason, and create weapons that could destroy averything, and you will not have six godzilla sized monsters stomping on your skyscarpers.

it sounds like the entities or spirits that exist in the Miazaki filme "Princess Mononoke". Very primal instinctive creaturebut also intelligent. Have you seen that one?

i Adore that one. albeit those guys were pretty much still animals with sapient minds. my guys are rather different. most instincts act towards gaining food, reproduction, and self sustaining. a daemon's intincts would drive them toward actions that are far to complex for simple instinct, yet they act on them as if they merely are.

how it works is kinda complicated. it is as if they simly Know where they need to be and what the problem is. such as an angel will instantly know if a human is a murderer or rapist. it does seem to have to do with auras though; magic reacts to things with the ability to have emotions, especialyl complex emotions seen in sapient beings. you do something heinous, it causes an action between you and the victim's energy. an angel would describe a sinner's soul as, for lack of betters words, heavy....... then again that would be after the angel Killed them.
to a daemon, killing is always the first option. even with the species who are not naturalyl conflicting, likes pixies, imps, and several angel species, killing is the first option. it is often confusing to them when mortals do not kill their enemies, or even more so, if they are especially cruel with it. especially angels. they are not the preachy messengers of god, besides the fact god does not exactly exist in my book, they are predators.
