'''Feyrs''', sometimes also spelled ''Fihyrs'', are a monster from [[Dungeons & Dragons]] which can be simply but accurately described as "living nightmares". No, seriously; they're literally a nightmare brought to life as an [[aberration]] by background magical energies. They now stalk humanoids to terrify them, as they feed on fear, as you'd expect of a living nightmare.

They're largely associated with the [[Forgotten Realms]] setting, since that setting was originally characterized as the "high magic" world compared to [[Greyhawk]] or [[Dragonlance]]. There is an article discussing their incorporation into [[Ravenloft]] in one issue of [[Quoth the Raven]], however. When they returned in 5e, it was in the [[Spelljammer]] [[Monster Manual]] analogue, "Boo's Menagerie".

Originally, it was stated that there are two kinds of Feyrs; the "Common Feyr", the basic model, and the "Greater Feyr", which is a more powerful version created when several Common Feyrs fuse together. It was subsequently retconned that there are actually four different kinds of fey; larval, lesser, common, and great. All feyrs are said to look something like a giant, disembodied brain covered in tentacles, eyes and fang-filled mouths, though the Ravenloft version of the feyr is recommended as taking on more customized forms based on its progenitor nightmare.

In case it's not obvious, yes, the name is literally pronounced "fear".
