About

The darkest of faerie tales feature a horrid creature. Hiding late at night in the shadows are cradle snatchers. They kidnap children for a price, usually a high one. Cradle snatchers can move quickly and are exceptionally agile.

Hidden Horror. These fey are especially active after dark. They relish their nighttime missions, much more at home in the inky darkness than anywhere else.

Early Envy. Cradle snatchers grow up envious of happy families. They loathe the togetherness of these families and journey to the ordinary world to wreak havoc.

Evil Employers. Most cradle snatchers are hired by foul creatures like witches, hags, and fiends.
