Chwinga Astronauts: Monster Guide for 5th Edition

Chwingas are tiny elemental spirits that adapt easily to any habitable environment.

These gentle creatures protect nature, considering themselves as its humble custodians. Chwingas live inside plants, rocks, and springs far from civilization.

Chwingas resemble 6-inch-tall, animated dolls with mask-like faces, spindly limbs, and wild hair. They don’t have names and can’t speak.

Chwingas normally avoid other creatures, but they find the trappings of civilization fascinating.

They puzzle over creatures that wear armor, carry weapons, use tools, and cook food. When a chwinga encounters one or more such creatures, its curiosity compels it to shadow them for a short time and observe them.

If it takes a liking to a particular creature, a chwinga uses its cantrips to aid that creature, or bestows upon it a magical gift before departing.

The features that attract a chwinga to a particular creature vary. A chwinga might like the way a certain creature walks or the way it combs its hair, or be smitten by its ability to play music or to eat copious amounts of food.

Chwingas that live in Wildspace usually dwell on habitable moons and asteroids, though they occasionally stow away on spelljamming ships or ride around on space guppies.

Using its Magical Gift ability, a chwinga astronaut can bestow one of the following charms in place of those described in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

Charm of Air Bubbles

This charm allows you to cast the air bubble spell (see the Astral Adventurer’s Guide) as an action. Once used three times, this charm goes away.

Charm of Instant Tools

This charm allows you to magically conjure a set of artisan’s tools, navigator’s tools, or thieves’ tools.

The conjured tools appear either in your hand or somewhere else in your space (your choice). Once used, this charm goes away, but the tools remain.
