Įssence of an will-o'-wisp or boggart was one of the material components for the secret page spell. Members of the Cult of the Dragon used boggart skeletons, among other ingredients, to craft powerful blue variety of the dragon's tooth wondrous item that could summon loyal blue-armored warriors in service of the cultists. Once the boggart's prey was consumed, the body and life force were gone and impossible to resurrect.

Ecology īoggarts' dual forms meant that they needed both meat and life force to live, grow, and mature. Most had lairs in the wilderness, but were known to infest more civilized areas. Society īoggarts were known to live in solitude or groups. Most of the time, they accomplished that by going invisible or flying away in the will-o'-wisp form. When faced with defeat and suffering serious injuries, boggarts used all resources and abilities to escape danger. The only way to stop a boggart attempting to cause confusion was striking it successfully. The confusion could not be stopped by simply plugging one's ears and affected its targets for seven and a half minutes. This confusion affected all creatures within the radius of 30 feet (9.1 meters) centered at the clamorous boggart. These small creatures could confuse their prey once a day by screaming, screeching, whistling, creating a thunderous ruckus for two whole minutes. The same lightning damage could be done by them via a lightning bolt of 10 feet (3 meters) range every two minutes.Īnother dangerous ability they utilize in combat and hunt was confusion. Combat īoggarts could use tools and weapons but often attacked with their electrifying touch. While boggarts were predatorily creatures, they could be found in the civilized areas causing malicious mischief There were cases of boggarts taking on forms of townies while ambushing, robbing, and killing unwary victims. When shapeshifting, boggarts preferred to take on the form of humanoid creatures such as halflings, gnomes, goblins, imps, xvarts, or young norkers. Even though they were quite intelligent, boggarts' oratory skills were not polished, leaving them with a very basic speech. Personality īoggarts could understand all languages via their ESP ability, albeit limited. This ability was limited by metal and living creatures.

When boggarts took on the will-o'-wisp shape, they could move through solid objects up to 2 feet (0.61 meters) thick. Most spells were useless against boggarts, leaving them only vulnerable to magic missile, maze, and protection from evil. In any of their forms, boggarts possessed the ability to become invisible for up to twelve minutes at a time, ofter utilizing it along with their terrible ability to cause confusion via unbearable noise. They transformed back into their original form after 10-12 minutes. Abilities Įven though talented shape-changers, most boggarts could not stay in a halfling or other small humanoid form.
