SPECIAL TRAITS

• Death Throes. When killed, a tooth fairy monarch explodes into a foul smelling, glittery substance coating all creatures within 5 ft. Coated creatures are poisoned for 1d4 rounds unless they make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw.
• Innate Spellcasting: The tooth fairy monarch’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 12, +4 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
  • At will: mage hand, prestidigitation
  • 1/day each: hold person, invisibility, minor illusion, silence, sleep

ACTIONS

• Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, 5 ft. reach, 1 target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage. The target is paralyzed for one turn unless it makes a DC 10 Constitution saving throw.
• Consume Teeth. As a bonus action, the monarch can consume an unattended tooth within 5 ft. It regains 5 Hit Points and one use of one of its 1/day spells.
• Scepter of Teeth. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, 5 ft. reach, 1 target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage. On a critical hit, the target loses a tooth if possible. A target who loses a tooth takes an additional 5 (1d10) piercing damage. Lost teeth can be reattached by any magical healing within 24 hours if the tooth is recovered.

ABOUT

Tooth fairies are fey created when a willful child’s tooth (or, rarely, a whole child) is buried in a place with strong connections to the mysterious realm of the fey. Wicked and capricious, tooth fairies delight in spreading fear and pain, and have a perverse need to steal the teeth of humanoid creatures. Tooth fairies use stolen teeth either to replace their own lost teeth (if the stolen teeth are small) or to decorate their dwellings, which usually lie inside abandoned buildings or knotholes in trees. Used as stools, carved into minuscule sculptures, or worn as crowns, the prized teeth serve as trophies of their successful raids.

Painful Pliers. Each night, gangs of tooth fairies stalk humanoid settlements, using their magic to confuse and distract their victims, and reveling in the looks of horror on their victims’ faces as the fey suddenly appear out of the darkness with their dirty, bloody pliers. The fairies then lull their targets to sleep and get to work at claiming their prizes. Some cautious fairies bite their targets to paralyze them and ensure the victims can’t wriggle away from the fairy’s grasping pliers; others enjoy the sounds of creatures awakening to their own screams as the fairy torments them with harsh pinches and painful tugs on fingers, teeth, or eyelids.

Monarchs. The rare and reclusive leaders of clans of tooth fairies, tooth fairy monarchs rule their smaller, lesser kin with imperious commands and domineering bluster.

These monarchs collect the teeth pulled by the lesser tooth fairies as tribute, affixing the teeth to their magical scepters or forming them into simple jewelry such as crowns, bracelets, or necklaces. A tooth fairy monarch stands 3 feet high and weighs about 30 pounds.

A monarch can consume these teeth to gain a burst of supernatural nourishment. They find teeth of large, powerful creatures to be tastier than those of children or smaller creatures (such as other tooth fairies), but they will command their tooth fairy minions to offer up their own teeth for consumption as punishment for failure, or simply to remind onlookers of their authority.
