Pucks

Pucks are a special class of creatures who thrive on creating chaos and mayhem; even Outsiders consider them nuisances and may kill them out of hand.

There are several species of pucks, but most share several characteristics. They tend to be small, getting no bigger than 2.5 feet tall, and can crawl on all fours. They can talk in simple sentences, but most reserve they are laughing or taunting their prey. They seem to come from one dimension, but it hasn't been discovered yet. Most Pucks are able to stay invisible, though there are some exceptions.

A normal Puck usually only has a power or two, but there is one special power Pucks have which Outsiders don't; if they consume a god, they can use their Dominion.

There is no general Payoff for consuming a Puck except consuming Puck-Flesh will double the duration of other effects.

Part-Time Gods Pucks
These Pucks appear in Part-Time Gods.


 * Goblins - A general Puck, the kind most gods will encounter first.  They love to toy with humans, and delight when their pranks cause disaster.  Their tricks defintiely take on a dark edge, frequently causing injuries and deaths.
 * Goblins may build intricate contraptions which cause tricks or pranks.  They also have a bonus to hiding.


 * Gnawers - Cuter than the average Puck, but their big-eyes hide the monstrous teeth in their mouth.  These Pucks will take bites out of anything, specializing in eating things that will maximize damage such as a car's break line.
 * They have a vicious bite which can go through anything, even armor.


 * Hiders - Hiders are one of the Pucks which can be seen, but they have the ability to phase and merge with any object.  They use this to eavesdrop on people, and use this knowledge to make the person's life a living hell.  Knocking on their hiding spot makes Hiders appear.
 * Hiders are able to phase with any material.  Even if not phased, they take much less damage as most attacks phase through them.


 * Possessors - Possessors may control someone's mind, and make them do things they normally wouldn't do.  A Possessor leaps onto someone's head, and bites down and their toxins control another's brain.  A Possessor is only a foot tall, and normally invisible.
 * A Possessor may completely take control of another individual.
