Treasure Bringer

Basic Information

Anatomy

A Treasure Bringer is a weak lesser devil that is unable to hold physical form in the material plane. Instead, a vessel must be prepared for them to possess. It does not possess a human body though, instead a scarecrow body must be assembled for it to possess. Its body must be made out of a broom, its head a large jar half filled with broken glass, and its arms and legs made from reels that have been used by a crone for 40 years. After being summoned, during the day the scarecrow will be inert and look exactly as described above. At night, a dense shadow will envelope the creature and fill out the missing segments of the limbs. The glass inside the jar will become animated and will move around and scratch the jar in a way to replicate facial expressions. (the jar will repair after moments). However the creature is invisible to those who have not touched its body during the day.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Although it does not need to eat to survive it greatly enjoys food! When it is bound to a person as part of the deal it will require the bound person to feed it at the beginning of every night. Although this is not necessary the Tresure Bringer is known to become hostile if left unfed.

Behaviour

Although a type of devil it has a more mischievous nature, favoring light pranks and inconveniences. They are very sociable and will develop relationships with the people they are bound to. If the person, they are bound to maintain a good relationship they will keep an amicable nature. If they are mistreated, they will become hostile, purposefully misinterpreting requests, and setting up dangerous traps.

Additional Information

Uses, Products & Exploitation

Through a specific ritual a person can summon and bind a Treasure Bringer to themselves, entering a pact. In exchange for their soul the person gains a lifelong companion. The treasure bringer will complete any task given to it (within reason). The treasure bringer will do everything it can to complete the task in a timely manor. If the relationship with the currently bound individual is good it will lead to the Tresure Bringer completing the task as intended. If the relationship is not good it will go out of its way to misinterpret things.

Facial characteristics

The glass inside the jar will become animate, floating around as if in liquid. It will use the glass pieces to replicate facial expressions and in absence of that it will use the glass to carve at the inside of the jar, creating deep scratches in mock facial expressions. These scratches will disappear, seemingly repaired, after several minutes.

Average Intelligence

They are incredibly intelligent and cunning. They have wonderful problem-solving capabilities and a penchant for riddles and stradegy.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

This creature retains the sensory ability of average humanoid creature, along with excellent Darkvision and an extra sense for this within a certain distance. It will always be able to track the person it is currently bound to.
