Flitten

Perhaps one of the most endearing creatures of Evermyst is the Flitten a Feywild remotely distant cousin to your typical Tabby cat the Flitten are usually elusive tricksters only found in the Feywild realms but there are times when one of these mischievous creatures appears as a familiar or pet to an enterprising mage or warlock who has some relative ties to the Feywild. Flittens possess Butterfly wings much like many Fairies and Pixies do they are highly intelligent but maintain many kittenlike mannerisms such as playing and making messes of one's papers and journals or the ever-attractive balls of twine or yarn. Flittens have the ability to turn invisible at will and as a protective ability can call upon an unexpected growl or roar and hiss much like that of a bobcat changing its demeanor in an unexpected way. It usually does this for individuals it does not trust or know as a form of protection and can call upon this presence attack of sorts at least once a day and more as it develops its abilities alongside those of its mage or warlock master.
Flittens are very unpredictable pranksters even when serving as Familiar to a mage or under a gift of service to a Warlock who has a Fey Patron/Benefactor. Fey Patrons who are themselves of a mischievous nature often gift warlocks who serve them with Flittens to test the warlock's patience.
Flittens have been known to make absolute messes of magical manuscripts, play and bat vials of Alchemical vials and potions, steal trinkets that are shiny, or have a comforting magical aura that appeals to the Flitten.
Flittens prefer to make their beds In hollowed logs or up high in hollow portions of ancient trees. In the servitude of Mage or Warlock, they will gladly make a home up in the rafters or some hard-to-access roost within the mages residence or snuggle up in a deep coat or cape pocket often stretching or scratching at awkward moments within a mages garments or perhaps an unexpecting pawing at an elderly mages beard or unsuspecting paw coming out from behind his beard to swat at something or someone.

Flittens Despite their Mischievous and sometimes Trouble making nature are much desired by Mages and Warlock interested in the Feywild and its wonders because of their ability to sense magic and come off as less harmless or dark as other Familiars such as Imps and wild beasts may. For this reason, Flittens have a place within the hearts of many of the people of Evermyst be it in just tall tales or actual dealings.
