Smee Harmless but incurably lazy, the smee is a master of mimicry. In their natural state, the smee is a yam-like, limbless creature with a mouth in its midsection. Incomparably vain, they may don various wigs, hairpieces, and even sparkly sequins to jazz up their plain and - let's be honest - somewhat revolting bodies. Their real talent, however, lies in their ability to shape shift. Smees can take almost any form and with such unparalleled skill that they can further replicate the voice, mannerisms, and even aura of an imprinted creature. With this power, they often ensconce themselves in various communities and trick others into providing them with a life of luxury and comfort. |
