"Two Roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference.

- Robert Frost, The Road Less Traveled



Pranksters and comedians, Pooka are well-loved by kithain and mortal alike, but few who know them well ever trust them completely: they are incapable of telling the whole truth. Each is able to take on the form of a specific animal, most often one with a tie to human stories of mischief.

Appearance and Lifestyles

Pooka run the gambit for shape and size, largely dictated by their animal side. On the whole, they are smaller and wily, and every Pooka sports some traits of their animal half (such as cat ears and tail, lizard scales, or feathers on their arms). They are usually cute, with animalistic features such as oddly shaped or sized eyes.

Pooka have an uncanny knack for turning out alright in the end. They typically manage to eke out a living doing what they love, whether that be as an Actor, Court Jester, Stand-Up Comedian or a different kind of performer. Seelie drift toward promising mortals who need a little cheering up; Unseelie act as confidants to those who can ensure their survival. In the city, they cluster around colleges, parks, and bohemian parts of town. In the country, be nice to the animals you meet.

From the Changeling: The Dreaming Corebook, Second Edition:

"Childlings are little angels, especially when they think they're going to get caught. Seelie childlings are like playful baby animals, always causing trouble and trying hard to avoid punishment. Unseelie childlings are destructive little beasts, but soon learn the fine art of making sure the Seelie get blamed.

"Wilders have a notoriously crude sense of humour. Imagine a class clown who'd seduce your best friend's S.O while planting a stink bomb in the school's ventilation system. When his pranks are going really well, he'll even get a luminescent gleam in his eyes. Be careful when a wilder Pooka begins to sharpen his claws.

"Grumps age gracefully. Most of them settle down to jobs in which fools can make an easy living. While their sense of humour never fades, it does become more subtle. Greybeard Pooka tend to prefer elabourate pranks that can take weeks to orchestrate properly.
