Monklet

A monklet is a spirit that favors haunting churches, abbeys, monasteries, convents, but in fact is most drawn to hoards of treasure wherever they are found. A monklet will go through a great deal of trouble to influence bodily creatures to gather treasure where it can watch over it like a dragon. They will often assist dragons and become much like treasure-guarding familiars for them, though some monklets can have a jealous streak that leads them to want the hoard for themselves.
Monklets also have an affinity to cloth and can manipulate it, causing havoc with clothing, altars, and the like.
Along the northern coasts of Chambrey, monklets, called chersaires, pretend to be drowning, but when a kind sailor or a good swimmer gets to them, a serpent or other great creature of the sea is there to devour them. Sea monsters see these nautical monklets and know that food is to be found where they float in the water. The chersaire wears fine white clothes and doesn't say anything else, but "Save me" except to rudely give directions to the rescuer as if he is not in trouble enough to know how to navigate the waves.
