A drekava is a small malevolent spirit—some say “demon”—that escaped to our realm to possess and corrupt small creatures.
Drekava cross into this realm from the Navirim. They usually take over the bodies of small animals, transforming them into mockeries of their original form. Once they have taken a form in this world, they revel in causing mischief and harm. They are spiteful and full of anger, no doubt because of their entrapment within the Navirim.
When they take over a host, the body contorts and changes, giving them a grotesque and horrific countenance for such small creatures. Their eyes turn black and shiny, radiating hatred. The elves believe that these creatures cannot be killed, but simply banished back to the Navirim by destroying their animal form in this world.

Revolting Smile
A drekava distorts its stolen face into a hideous grin. Any creature that can see the drekava must succeed on a ACU check each round or become scared for 1 round.
Maniacal Laugh
The laugh of a drekava shakes a being to its soul. A drekava can laugh as a Standard or Move action every other round. This is a sonic, mind-affecting fear effect that can be resisted with a successful ACU check. If the target is scared, the ACU saveRolling a characteristic to resist an effect or spell.

If a creature is deaf or in a magically silenced area, it is not affected by the laugh.
