Coure Eladrin
Also known as lyrakien, glistenwings, the wanderer azata â€
Who Explore the Multiverse With Childlike Wonder
CG; CR 1–2 ‡
Alternate form: A tiny ball of light
Coure (pronounced KOOR, coo-RAY, or koo-UR, depending on who you ask) appear as tiny fey-like humanoids with insectile wings, filled with child-like wonder. They wear clothes of leaves and petals and make tools from nutshells and needles. Okay, while a considerable amount of them do that, remember the golden rule—all eladrin are different. Don’t be surprised to find clockwork blowgun-shooting coure, or even pistol-toting smokepowder coure.
Coure rarely stay in one place or in one form—they travel around Arborea, visiting other eladrin communities and figuring out how to be eladrin (which is by being themselves). They learn to survive, fight, care for those around them and live according to the ideals of fun-loving freedom. Most coure slowly grow and change into another eladrin as they figure out what their preferred form might be. Some coure like being tiny and choose to remain this way. They can be surprisingly wise mentors and terrifying opponents—they retain their insatiable desire to learn and keep a ridiculous array of tricks up their sleeves. These adult coure (many of whom prefer to be called lyrakien) are musical messengers and embodiments of free travel. They can transform into a ball of light with little glistening wings.
