[I like the harmona. I enjoy it when fey aren't just pretty humanoids with pointy ears or horns, and a hummingbird that deals sonic damage is a cool mechanical niche. I could see these being excellent as allied NPCs as well as being a cool fight, and they would slot very well into the Kingmaker or Ironfang Invasion APs. A harmona with the blighted fey template would probably be terrifying.]

Harmona CR 11 CN Fey This creature appears as a glimmering blue hummingbird, moving so quickly that they eye has a hard time following it. A faint, high pitched whine surrounds it as it buzzes by, and its eyes have a canny look about them.

Harmonas are tiny fey creatures easily mistaken for hummingbirds to the untrained eye. They are found primarily in the First World, where they serve fey nobility as entertainers, scouts and spies. A harmona is constantly on the move, flitting from place to place. They fuel this constant rapid activity with sugar. Nectar is their traditional diet, and most harmonas live in places with ample flowering plants. They readily eat candy, pastries and sweet drinks as well.

Harmonas would rather talk or flee than fight, but they are dangerous if provoked. A harmona’s beak strikes with the force of a shortsword, and worse, carries a powerful sonic charge. The fey can beat its wings in patterns that create sonic vibrations, capable of pushing enemies away or knocking them to the ground. Few harmonas are willing to fight to the death, and so they typically make a break for it once foes are suitably battered and disoriented.

A harmona will happily converse with creatures that it comes across, as long as they are treated with respect. Harmonas have genius level intellects, and find being seen as a mere bird to be a grave insult. Attempting to capture or cage a harmona is a sure invitation to a lesson delivered with sonic damage. Mortals seeking to gain a harmona’s favor can often do so by allowing it to taste some exotic dessert or other sweet it has never tried before. Relying on that bribe can be risky, however; the fey creatures have been occasionally known to bankrupt indulgent mortals with demands for ever more elaborate comestibles.

I really fucked up my back this weekend, right before my sister’s birthday...... but I promised her I’d still do something for her so I did. :) :) :)
