Category:Lhiannan Shee

This section contains canon info from officially published sources

Also known as Ghosts of Obsession or song snatchers, Lhiannan shee are malevolent spirits that feed upon bards. A Lhiannan shee's drain away the bard's music and story, creative essence and eventually even spark of life. Like a succubus, they are shapechangers, able to take the form of attractive and appealing forms to their victims, such as those of lost loves. Once a bard becomes entranced by a Lhiannan shee, the unfortunate victim willingly surrenders their essence and life.^[1]

Fortunately, Lhiannan shee are rare in the extreme. Larson only encountered one or two during his years of hunting them in Faerun and only one in Kartakass. A person properly trained can drain the stolen essence from a song snatcher and either give it back to the original victim or keep it for himself.^[2]

Lhianna shee appeared in the short story Tales of Ravenloft: Song Snatcher and have not appeared elsewhere.
