Grig

Grig is a fictional creature that appears in a number of fantasy stories and role-playing games. Typically depicted as small, impish beings, grigs are known for their mischievous nature and their association with darkness and the supernatural. They are often described as having leathery skin, sharp claws, and glowing eyes, and are said to be able to move silently and with great speed.

The lore surrounding grigs varies, but they are frequently portrayed as being drawn to places of decay or misfortune. Some tales suggest they feed on fear or despair, while others indicate they are simply agents of chaos. Their motivations are often unclear, adding to their unsettling presence. In some narratives, grigs are solitary creatures, while in others, they are found in small groups or colonies.

Their abilities can include minor magical powers, such as the ability to create illusions or to influence the dreams of mortals. While not typically powerful combatants, their cunning and their ability to sow discord make them a nuisance or even a threat to adventurers and unwary travelers. The exact origins of grigs are rarely detailed, often leaving them as enigmatic entities within the worlds they inhabit. Their presence is usually a sign of something amiss, a subtle indicator of darker forces at play.
