Buy me a coffeeFir Darrig
The creature shambling from the water is a loathsome and disgusting creature. Built like an obese shell of a man, he stands in a stooped but upright position, tattered and filthy red clothes with grimy coin-filled pockets hanging from his frame.

These include passing their Filth fever into cattle or swapping an infant with a changeling baby. They also devour foods that most would find repulsive: sludge, carrion, ruined alchemical components, etc. On occasion, not for actual need but out of hatred and to get an easy chance at having a potential enemy to spite, a Fir Darrig will wander into a household and ask for a Spot near the kiln or fireplace. Woe to the villager who denies this dark fey his night by the fire. Fir Darrig speak Common and Aquan.

Combat
A Fir Darrig faced with a combat situation likes to first cause a fog bank to roll in around himself. Afterwards, he will come at the enemy using tremorsense to guide him, then curse with no mercy. If threatened too much, the Fir Darrig will let the fog mask an escape back into the waters, where he will wait and watch to see if Filth fever grips his victim.
Disease (Ex): A Fir Darrig can cast dark energies through his fingers. A creature hit by his slams have a 25% chance of catching Filth fever.
Spell-like Abilities (Su): Caster level 12th. At will: Fog cloud.
