Hexapod Shrew

Hexapod Shrew

Wondrous item, very rare

 

How Hexpapod Shrews got their additional pair of limbs is a question to this day. They use their extraordinary agility and reflexes to hunt bugs and other insects as well as to outrun owls and wildcats.

The sweat of a Hexpod Shrew can be used as the main ingredient to craft a Potion of Swiftness. Consuming such a potion increases the walking speed of the drinker by 20 ft., grants advantage on dexterity saving throws and allows them to use an additional reaction between each of their turns. Furthermore, when another creature ends it's movement within 5 ft. of the drinker, they may move up to 10 ft. away as a reaction. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity from the approaching creature. The effects of the potion last for 1 minute.

 

"I accidentally let a Hexpod Shrew escape while I was examining it's health once. I tried to catch it inside of my hut for 2 hours before deciding to just go and find another one that sleeps at midnight." - Jette
