[This little cutie is so obscure that all Google sources refer back to A Book of Creatures. It has the option for using the “Fey Boons and Banes” rules from Prisoners of the Blight, which is probably my favorite rules subsystem from Paizo in some time. The rules aren’t online yet, so here’s a quick and dirty version. A fey creature can bestow a boon or bane on a creature as a touch spell that takes 1 minute to cast. It can’t be forced to use a boon or bane through mind-influencing magic or the like. A blight can be removed by anything that can remove a curse.]
Qasogonaga This small, comical creature
resembles a stocky anteater, but its fur is colored with garish rainbow
stripes.
The qasogonaga
are a species of strange fey creatures that live high in the sky. There, they
monitor and control the weather, ensuring that regular patterns of rainfall
support animals and plants living below them. They are generally benevolent,
however, and can be convinced or petitioned to create or reduce rain by
sentient creatures that know how to call upon them. Although qasogonaga do not
fly, they treat the air and clouds as solid objects, strolling about them
slowly.
A
qasogonaga found at ground level may be there on a mission to survey the
effects of the weather, by accident due to losing control of its air walk, or simply out of curiosity.
Among mortal lands, they can disguise themselves as a humanoid, but their lack
of knowledge of mortal customs and bizarre, multicolored hair mark them as
strange. If properly placated with kind words, good foods or assistance in
returning to the sky (though the use of bonfires and their buoyant flame
ability), qasogonaga can help people with the weather, be it naturally or
magically manipulated. They hate more sinister weather controlling monsters,
and may seek the aid of adventurers in dealing with those too powerful for a
qasogonaga to handle by themselves.
Although
qasogonaga lack physical attacks beyond a stern (and thunderous) headbutt, they
are feared in combat. Their mastery of weather allows them to create lightning
bolts and thunderclaps in an instant. They rarely fight to the death,
preferring to use their thunderbolts to blind opponents at a key moment, then flee
and hide.
Qasogonaga Boons and Banes
If using
the fey boons and banes system from Pathfinder
Adventure Path 119: Prisoners of the Blight, a qasogonaga is capable of
bestowing the following boon or bane to creatures it favors or despises.
Boon: You are empowered by the effects
of inclement weather. If you are a spell-caster, you gain a +1 bonus to caster
level whenever you are in rain. If you are not a spell-caster, you instead gain
a +1 competence bonus on all saving throws whenever you are in rain. This
effect lasts for 1 day per caster level of the qasogonaga (11 days for the
typical specimen).
Bane: Thunder and lightning seem to
attract to you. You gain vulnerability to electricity and sonic damage. This
effect is permanent until removed.
These fey are often considered to be emissaries of Aenma, though they rebuke such claims; their actions spring from innate duty, they claim, rather than divine mandate. They are especially common in the Isles of Blessed Skies, where the native larids frequently leave them offerings to keep away storms.
