Gwylion are a species of sylvan creatures similar in appearance to satyrs though possessed of more sinister tendencies. From the waist up, these creatures resemble strikingly beautiful human maidens with alluring features and an impelling gaze. The lower body of a gwylion resembles a goat, however, with shaggy hair and sharp pointed hooves.
All Gwylion possess some talent for witchcraft, though it is rare for these beings to attain any degree of mastery in this field. Compensating for this are the Gwylion's innate magical powers, which include the ability to disguise their true forms by illusory means. A gwylion's voice and gaze both have the effect of a charm spell, the kiss of this creature being especially potent in this regard. Gwylion use their abilities to seduce males of other humanoid species, for they are incapable of producing male offspring and must resort to such devices in order to propagate their own evil race.
Like most sylvan creatures, Gwylion prefer to make their homes in isolated woodland areas. Some live on wooded or tropical isles where they can prey upon the crews of passing ships. On occasion, they may be seen in the company of Malataurs or Arciteni. Most often, Gwylion choose to live only with others of their own kind.
A band of Gwylion will usually number up to twenty females and perhaps twice this number in captured mates. The charmed males are made to serve their Gwylion mistresses and are generally little more than slaves. Though Gwylion will sometimes pamper a favored male, most tire of their mates after a few months, after which time the discarded male is likely to be used for food. As such, Gwylion are always looking for new males to capture and enslave. They will take centaur, satyr, or elven mates, but only if human males are scarce. Much to the chagrin of Malataurs and Arciteni, Gwylion have no attraction for these creatures .
