ABOUT

Celestial pandas are wise, winged creatures that wield the magic of the heavens with a dedication to fairness and honesty, and a literal allergy to lies.

Serving as companions and mentors to angels, unicorns, and other heavenly beings, celestial pandas are respected for their deep wisdom and their ability to sense deception.

A celestial panda that hears a creature speak a deliberate lie feels itchy and soon after, it sneezes. The bigger the lie, the more dramatic the allergic reaction to it will be, making celestial pandas fierce adversaries of even the most masterful deceivers.

Celestial Conciliators. Known for their dedication to righteousness, celestial pandas may act as arbiters in the rare case of a dispute between two creatures where both of them may be technically right. When a celestial panda considers such a case, it might spend weeks or even months seeking the fairest resolution to the dispute, often using its considerable magic to aid both creatures.
