Hybsil Hybsils were small fey creatures native to numerous forests in Faerûn . Description . Hybsils appeared as a cross between a small antelope and a pixie , like a centaur but with the bodies of small deer instead of horses . The color of a hybsil ' s body varied from dark grays and browns to beige and copper . Like normal , hybsils also often had spots or stripes . Hybsils had pointed , elegant ears with a small tuft of hair at the tips . Male hybsils had large forking , and females had smaller antlers that were sometimes spiraled . The male ' s antlers would molt in the middle of winter and grow back in spring . Due to being hunted for their antlers , hybsils developed a knack for finding traps and snares . They were also skilled at moving silently in forests . Their fey origin gave hybsils complete immunity to poisons . Behavior . A typical hybsil diet consisted of fruits , berries , roots , and small mammals . Hybsils commonly lived up to 50 years , but hybsils with arcane abilities were known to live to 70 years of age and well beyond . Combat . Hybsils fought with dagger s , short sword s , and short bow s . Hybsils were known to coat their weapons and arrows with a potent sleeping poison created from rare plant juice blend . It was possible that this poison was acquired from pixies . Many hybsils were also able to perform a number of mage and druid spells . Despite being related to sprite s , hybsils were unable to turn invisible . They could , however , see invisibility at will . A common tactic employed by hybsils was to attack in groups , often using a " mirror image " spell to give the impression of greater numbers . Hybsils preferred to fight from a distance , using their speed and agility to stay out of range . Although they were known to perform hit and run attacks with small blades , hybils would generally avoid hand - to - hand combat unless trying to prove themselves . Society . Hybsils lived in small tribes that rarely exceeded fifty individuals . Due to their being hunted , hybsils tended to be xenophobic , preferring to isolate themselves from other sentient species . Although hybsils disliked bugbear s and ogre s , they especially hated gnoll s . Despite their xenophobia , some tribes did have distant but friendly relationships with neighboring groups of human s , gnome s , and other sentient creatures . Hybsils could be found in many woodlands , plains , and forests across Faerûn . They were known to live in the Border Forest , the Reaching Woods , the Trollbark Forest , the High Forest , the Misty Forest , and the Nunwood . The roles in hybsil society were mostly split between males and females , although females would take up arms if needed . Males focused on hunting , gathering , and protecting the tribe . The females took care of young , educated , preserved traditions , maintained the tribe ' s oral - history , and cared for the injured and sick . As a result , females were rarely encountered beyond the tribe ' s camp . Threats . Due to the magical properties of their antlers , hybsils were often hunted by other sentient races . Although molted antlers were just as useful as scalped antlers , the Zhents of Zhentil Keep were known to only buy antlers that were attached to scalps . Some wizard s paid as much as 100 gp for high - quality hybsil antlers . Notable hybsils . Around 1372 DR , a hybsil named Five Point had become the leader of the second - largest druid circle in the northlands . Five Point was accompanied by three dire wolverine s and an owl and paid 13 gp for Zhentil scalps . Marcabruk was the leader of the Autnak Tribe of hybsils who lived around Chondath . Around 1358 DR , Marcabruk and his tribe were part of an alliance who attacked a priest named Theodoric and his army of undead .
