Monster Idea

Psychic Fox

Description: A seemingly normal Giant Fox that, only at night, looks like a fox being looked through a thermal sight.

Functionality: The Psychic Fox will first appear to the party during the day, looking at them from afar and studying them during an encounter or analysing their actions. If the Psychic Fox is approached, the party gets blinded and deafened for 6 seconds, after that it all goes back to normal but the Psychic Fox is disappeared. Any way to find or trace the Psychic Fox fails automatically.

The night after:

If the Psychic Fox deemed the party worthy, they’ll find a cub of Psychic Fox next to them when they wake up. The original Psychic Fox will sometimes reappear, to check on the cub, for the next 6d6 days, after that, it will never show up again. The cub is one week old (determinable by the party only after a successful Nature check).

If the Psychic Fox deemed the party unworthy, they’ll find their food missing, and the Psychic Fox will never show up again.

Once the cub is 1 month old it’ll be loyal enough to be able to aid the party:

1/day it can deafen for 6 seconds all enemies or non-allies in a 10ft radius

1/day it can blind for 6 seconds all enemies or non-allies in a 10ft radius

Small size

Understands Common and Sylvan

At 2 months:

2/day it can deafen for 6 seconds all enemies or non-allies in a 20ft radius

2/day it can blind for 6 seconds all enemies or non-allies in a 20ft radius

Bite and scratch attack

1/day can cast Minor Illusion

1/day can cast Mirror Image

Understands one other language (the most used in the party except Common or one of the languages their favourite party member speaks)

At 3 months:

3/day it can deafen for 6 seconds all enemies or non-allies in a 30ft radius

3/day it can blind for 6 seconds all enemies or non-allies in a 30ft radius

Medium size

2/day Minor illusion

1/day Hypnotic Pattern

At 4 months:

1/day Major Image

No one is the owner of a Psychic Fox, not even when it’s a cub. The decisions are all made by the DM during battle. If spoken to with Soeak with Animal or other mechanics, it will have a Primordial accent (described as a guttural way of speaking by those not familiar with Primordial). The Psychic Fox will disappear after 4 and a half months for two weeks, before returning for one lasts month (presumably to have a baby and give it to another party).

At 5 months:

5/day Minor Illusion

4/day Mirror Image

4/day Hypnotic Pattern

3/day Major Image

1/day Seeming

1/day Weird

After 5 months and a half the Psychic Fox will disappear, forever. It will leave only X luminous spheres of light that when touched grants those who did it a sense of well being and immunity to being blinded and deafened. Those who gained a Psychic Fox blessing can also, only at night, focus and look like under a thermal sight until concentration ends.
