Fauns are generally fun-loving, but tricky. They love music and strong drink, but are always ready to protect their forests and valleys from intrusion by outsiders. They play pipes and use their musical ability to imitate, to mislead, and to play tricks. They are also adept with sleep potions and plant poisons, though they rarely use them to kill. Fauns are not terribly bright, and are often led by satyrs or greater satyrs, who guide their actions. Fauns can fight if pressed, trampling and head-butting, knocking foes down or leading them into traps. Other forest fey will often aid them. Instinct: to amuse friends and mislead foes

• taunts and teases
