Phantomfolk (Lesser Phantoms)
by HåvardThis creature originally appeared in X2 Castle Amber as Phantom and later in AC9 Creature Catalog as Phantom, Lesser.
Phantomfolk, sometimes called Mistfolk or Lesser Phantoms are a fairy race that can be found anywhere on Mystara. They are composed almost entirely out of mist and appear as medium or small sized creatures. Most appear humanoid, but they can also take on other shapes.
Phantomfolk are sometimes mistaken for undead Phantoms (Haunts), but they are not undead. As most fey creatures, they are tricksters by nature. They are masters of illusion magic and love using their innate spell abilities to trick others into getting into trouble. However, they are not evil and mostly motivated by their playful nature. They sometimes find work as spies or assassins.
Although their bodies are mist-like, they do suffer damage from normal attacks and can punch for 1d4 points of damage. Like most fey, they can become invisible to mortals at will. They cannot wear armor or use weapons or tools made from iron or steel.
