fellagan

Fellagan is a term originating from the fictional world of Dragonlance, created by Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis. In this fantasy setting, fellagan are a type of creature known for their stealth and predatory nature. They are often depicted as small, dark, and agile beings, capable of moving through shadows and ambushing unsuspecting prey. Their exact origins and place in the Dragonlance cosmology are sometimes ambiguous, adding to their mysterious and frightening reputation.

Fellagan are typically described as having sharp claws and teeth, and a keen sense of hearing. They are not known for great physical strength but compensate for this with speed and cunning. In the stories, they are often encountered in dark, isolated places such as caves, ruins, or dense forests. Their presence usually signals danger, and encounters with them are rarely peaceful. Some lore suggests they are related to other shadowy or subterranean creatures, though specific familial ties are rarely detailed. Their motivations are generally understood to be driven by hunger and a territorial instinct. The term itself carries an ominous connotation within the Dragonlance narrative, immediately evoking a sense of threat.
