Zashiki Warashi

Zashiki Warashi

The Zashiki-warashi are playful household spirits known for their ability to bring prosperity, fortune, and protection to those they choose to live with. Manifesting as child-like beings with curious, mischievous personalities, these spirits are most comfortable in homes, inns, and sanctuaries, where their presence blesses the inhabitants with luck and safety. However, their favor is fleeting—when a Zashiki-warashi feels ignored or mistreated, it leaves, often taking the household’s fortune with it.
Zashiki-warashi thrive in companionship and familiarity, making them excellent allies and guardians. Their subtle influence on luck and events ensures that those they favor seem to always be at the right place at the right time. Whether as charming social figures or protective spirits, they ensure that the spaces they bless become sanctuaries for recovery, safety, and good fortune. Despite their playful nature, they are fiercely loyal, forming deep bonds with those who treat them kindly.
Zashiki-warashi characters excel at support and utility, enhancing their party with luck, recovery, and subtle protection. Their abilities often reflect their role as household guardians, rewarding allies who take rest and refuge with them. They tend to favor classes that emphasize teamwork, insight, or magic, such as Bards, Clerics, and Druids.
