Editing Quickling

{{dnd-stub}}

The '''Quickling''' is a small [[fey]] possessed of super-speed hailing from [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. Although originally considered a member of the [[brownie]] family, the quickling has no mythological precedents and has done a far better job of surviving the changing editions than its peaceful cousins. The first version of the quickling appeared in the Monster Manual II for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 1st edition. Native to the [[Greyhawk]] setting, the quicklings were originally brownies, but were corrupted by dark magics into a murderous predatory race of fey. This version of the quickling was updated in the Monstrous Compendium Annual 2 to suit the 2nd edition of AD&D.

The defining trait of quicklings is their superhuman speed, which makes them incredibly hard to fight; they have insanely high defenses to represent just how hard they are to hit, and can usually slash you up pretty badly in return.
