About

Hiding in the darkest places of the wilderness is a horrid, malevolent creature. The boggart usually inhabits marshes or fields. Its true form is a mystery as it often takes the form of its victim’s deepest fear. Some say the boggart is really a black shadowy creature. However, if a boggart is killed it simply dissolves.

Hidden Homes. These monsters often hide in burrows, under bridges, in old trees, or under logs.

Darkest Fear. Having the ability to shapechange and the ability to detect thoughts makes this monster a challenging opponent. The boggart usually changes shape when a humanoid is nearby.

Domestic Setting. At times a boggart gets inside a dwelling and causes all kinds of havoc. Many a family has been chased from their home by this nasty fey.
