[Back to creatures]

A Gretchling is a small, vaguely humanoid-shaped amphibious being that resembles a hairless raccoon with a frog head and huge, bulbous orange eyes. Gretchlings love ambient arcane energy, and they seek out scrolls, trinkets, and other objects that might have magical properties. Gretchlings feed off of this energy, and given enough time they can suck a magical item dry of any magic properties. Gretchlings feed on latent magic and are particularly attracted to magic items, scrolls, and foci.

Gratchen

Sometimes, a Gretchling will bite off a little more than it can chew. By devouring the energy from a cursed item or an occult scroll, a Gretchling might transform into a Gratchen. A Gretchling’s harmless curiosity gives way to contemptible malice as it becomes a Gratchen, and its skin takes on an ashen quality. Its fingers grow metallic claws, and its eyes and blood become molten hot.
