{"name":"Chwinga","cr":"0 (0 or 10 XP)","types":"elemental","size":"Tiny","languages":"-","alignment":"Neutral","description":"A chwinga (pronounced cheh-WING-ah) is a tiny elemental spirit that lives in plants, rocks, and rivers far\u00a0from civilization. Painfully shy, chwingas prefer to move\u00a0about unseen.\u00a0If two or more chwingas live in the same area, each\u00a0one will take shelter in a different plant. rock, or body of\u00a0fresh water. Though no two chwingas look exactly alike,\u00a0they resemble 6-inch-tall animated dolls with strange\u00a0masks, spindly limbs, and wild hair. Their appearance\u00a0is sometimes foreshadowed by cool breezes, the sweet\u00a0smell of flowers, and dancing fireflies. Their mere presence makes a natural setting more lush and vibrant.\u00a0\r\n[br][b]Humanoid Fascination[\/b]. Chwingas shun most other\u00a0creatures, but they find the trappings of civilization\u00a0fascinating. They puzzle over creatures that wear armor, carry weapons, use tools, and cook food. When a\u00a0chwinga encounters one or more humanoids, its curiosity sometimes gets the better of it, and it shadows those\u00a0creatures for a short time to observe them. If it takes a\u00a0liking to a particular humanoid, a chwinga might use its\u00a0cantrips to aid it, or might bestow a magical gift before\u00a0departing. The features that attract a chwinga to a particular humanoid can vary. In some cases, a chwinga\u00a0might simply like the way a humanoid walks or the\u00a0way it combs its hair. Other times, it might be smitten\u00a0by a humanoid's ability to play music or to eat copious\u00a0amounts of food.\u00a0\r\n[br][b]Elemental Nature. [\/b]Chwingas sleep but don't require\u00a0air, food, or drink.\u00a0They don't have names and have no\u00a0\u00a0ability to speak. When a chwinga dies, it turns into a\u00a0handful of flower petals, a cloud of pollen, a stone statue resembling its former self, a marble of smooth\u00a0stone, or a puddle of fresh water.\u00a0\r\n[br]([b]from tomb of\u00a0[\/b][b]annihilation, page 216-217)[\/b]","suggestedenvironment":"lives in plants, rocks, and rivers far from civilization.","ac":"15","hitpoints":"5[roll:2d4]","strength":"1","dexterity":"20","constitution":"10","intelligence":"14","wisdom":"16","charisma":"16","movement":"20","fly":"","hover":"","burrow":"","swim":"20","climb":"20","senses":"blindsight 60 ft., passive Perception 17","skills":"Acrobatics +7, Perception +7, Stealth +7","savingthrows":"","damagevulnerabilities":"","damageresistances":"","damageimmunities":"","conditionimmunities":"","spellcasting":"[b][i]Innate Spellcasting.[\/i][\/b] The chwinga's innate spellcasting ability is Wisdom(spell save dc 13).
