An extremely good human paladin and mayor with psionic powers and several of his bloomtail squirrel friends I drew for Cute Creatures Compendium 2! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/521248/cute-creatures-compendium-2
Character: Fluflarf, Mayor and Psionic Paladin
In the morning hours, Fluflarf can be found sitting in and on The Great Tree, whose eighty-foot sprawling branches are nestled in a Sylvan glade. He will identify himself as The Mayor of Heirontid, a nearby town known to be rife with paladins.
There will be a bag of food with him for his friends, who are mostly: Bloomtail Squirrels, Stellar Bunnies, Fungosauri and Bluejays; sharing the foodstuffs liberally as they convey the news of the evening and the day, tales that start many adventures, large and small.
Approaching adventurers will have been reported by winged messengers turns before they arrive and will be offered refreshment, rest, and conversation. Fluflarf will use his prodigious telepathic powers to size-up the party and fit them to exactly the adventure they need, if not the one they would ask for. Many of these will benefit the local animals, farmers, druids, or even the forest itself. As his scouts have located every lost or abandoned magic item in the nearest hundred leagues, he can easily ensure helpful party members are well rewarded for their efforts.
Whether coaxing beavers to move their dams downstream, intercepting a Bag of Kittens being transported to an evil Serpentarium as a food source, or finding the lost TeddySpider that melts the heart of a powerful mage on the brink of considering Lich magic, there are adventures for every party size and level.
"Friend of the Flumph" in Flumphish, Fluflarf is considered a "Tolerable Gardner" by two Ancient (Grumpy) Golden Dragons in the nearby hills. With the help of his informants, the Heirontid Forests are a place of goodness and safety that feels "well kept" even by Golden Dragon standards.
When something dangerous creeps into the forest, Fluflarf will pull all the nearby friends into the Ethereal Plane where he can keep them safe until the dragons answer his call and his Holy Avenger's existence has meaning once again.
About Bloomtail Squirrels:
Likes: magical nuts, playing among flowers, sentient trees
Dislikes: being underground, animal traps, cut flowers
Bloomtail squirrels are shy and elusive critters that thrive in unspoiled forests and flower fields touched by ancient magic. Their mystical connection to nature empowers them when they are near flowers and makes them instinctively friendly towards other nature-touched beings such as forest gnomes, wood elves, sentient trees, and other florofauna creatures.
Though usually tiny in size, there are rumors of bloomtail squirrels large enough to take a forest gnome as their rider. Forest gnomes affectionally call those bloomtail squirrels the “big ones” and save the tastiest nuts for them.
Familiar. At the gamemaster’s discretion, a player character who can cast find familiar may choose the form of a bloomtail squirrel for their familiar.
Awakened Bloomtail Squirrels. Bloomtail squirrels are eligible targets for the awaken spell. Awakened bloomtail squirrels often team up with forest gnomes and sentient trees to create beautiful wild gardens in unlikely places.
