Fuath are malevolent creatures that inhabit swamps and bogs, appearing as dark, shadowy figures with glowing red eyes, empty pits for a nose, and sharp, pointed teeth that exude menace and malice. Their long, tangled hair and scraggly beards are often covered in moss, blending seamlessly with the murky and wet environment of their swampy domains.As guardians of their watery territories, Fuath have a deep animosity towards humans and other intruders, attacking and causing harm to those who venture into their domain. They are adept at shapechanging, able to transform into an alligator or giant frog at will, allowing them to move and hunt stealthily through the waters of their swamp habitats.
Some Fuath have formed an unusual bond with a rare and deadly creature known as a Swampstalker, keeping it as a pet and fierce companion in their swampy realms.
