Impkin Goat

Tiny

Fiend,

Chaotic Neutral

Impkin Goats are tiny, mischievous creatures resembling black pygmy goats with glowing red eyes and small curved horns. Native to areas rich in chaotic or infernal energy, these creatures are harmlessly troublesome, delighting in causing minor inconveniences and playful chaos.

While not truly evil, Impkin Goats are fiendish by nature and are drawn to pranksters and chaos-loving adventurers. Their playful demeanor makes them appealing companions, though their antics can quickly become exasperating. Despite their size, Impkin Goats are surprisingly nimble and adept climbers, often perching in improbable places.

Legends say Impkin Goats are a favorite pet of lesser demons, but in truth, they seem to have no masters and live for their own amusement. If tamed, they can form bonds with equally chaotic individuals, acting as both loyal familiars and relentless pranksters.

Taming and Familiar Notes

Adventurers can attempt to befriend an Impkin Goat by succeeding on a DC 15 Animal Handling check while offering a shiny object or sugary treat. As familiars, they grant their summoner advantage on Stealth checks and can cast Minor Illusion once per short rest.
