Mythuinn folk look like cute, shaggy teddy bears, roughly the size of a human hand. They have big, deep-brown eyes and white, brown, or black fur. They are ice-dwellers who live high in the mountains and in the deep, frozen ice of Shyiol's massive ice-floe continents.
Mythuinn folk have a completely different name for themselves, but no outsider can pronounce it. They have their own language, but their voices are too high pitched and fast for humanoid hearing. Some mythuinn (10%) speak common, which they must speak very slowly. Any man-sized or larger humanoid must make a successful hear noise check to understand the speech of the mythuinn.
Habitat/Society: Most mythuinn are extremely curious, wanting to see everything - and the sooner the better. Mythuinn sometimes even accompany adventurers of good alignment for brief periods of time. Such adventurous mythuinn quickly learn the language of their "Big Folk" friends so that they can communicate. Travelers from the most southern cities of Shyiol often carry mythuinn for good luck.
Mythuinn are sociable and dwell in icy caves high on the mountain-tops or in frozen holes burrowed into the huge slabs of ice that make up the northern and southern ice-floe continents. Their wondrous villages are carved and shaped from the ice - miniature fairy-villages, sparkling like cut diamond in the light. Mythuinn protect their villages with patrols, each carrying a horn to sound an alert if necessary. A village can contain several hundred mythuinn.
Individual mythuinn carry little or no treasure. However, their villages contain at least a full treasure type A.
Ecology: Tyminids prey upon mythuinn, pursuing the tiny folk relentlessly. Mythuinn folk sometime hide in aeldar webs to elude these predators.
Mythuinn live fast - about ten times as fast as most humanoids. A one year sojourn to see the world with a "Big Folk" friend seems like a decade to one of the adventurous mythuinn. They live eight to ten years, although to them it seems like 80 to 100 years.
Mythuinn mate for life; if one partner dies, the other partner then sickens and dies. A mated pair of mythuinn will have three to five offspring during their fertile years. Twins are fairly common.
