Being pack leader to creatures with a penchant for adornment involves many hours of plaiting, daisy chaining and spending what little coin you have on trinkets that the little ones might otherwise try to steal.

Plumard - Lore & Behavior

Plumards are a constant threat to livestock populations in Angren, and to a lesser extent, the peasants who own them and are stupid enough to be outside at night. While technically considered vampires, plumards are more akin to a pest than an apex predator.

Alone, a plumard can be killed easily, but in a group, a confrontation can quickly turn deadly. A cloud of plumards can number anywhere between 6 and 12. In combat, the entire group tends to target a single unarmored victim and swarm them from all angles.

With proper preparation, this behavior can be turned into a boon for your extermination efforts. Their tendency to group up during feeding leaves them open to all manner of methods, the easiest of which is fire. Igni can make cinders of several plumards at a time. A sorceress could probably kill scores more in an instant. However, flushing the group from a structure they are roosting in just before dawn would remove the need to do either. Don’t waste your Vampire Oil.

Plumards are among the weakest vampires on the Continent. But, that doesn’t mean they should be classified as harmless. Once, in my travels,I had the opportunity to meet a nobleman who had decided to keep one as a pet. The plumard itself was less than terrifying and spent most of it’s time furiously flapping around its silver cage. But the flock of plumard that descended on the manor four nights later was far more horrifying.

"I drew this one to illustrate the stupidity of colette being unable to get down...when she was three feet off the ground."

"collette's daughter-who inherited the stupid-being burrioto'd to remove burrs from her fur becuase she chased a marmot into a thistle patch."

"Collette and said daughter being cute to make up for thier crimes. Regis knows you knocked his glass set off the table."
