Mythu�nn folk look like cute, shaggy teddy bears, roughly the size of a human hand. They have big, deep-brown eyes and white, brown, or black fur. They are ice-dwellers who live high in the mountains surrounding the ee'aar kingdom on the Arm of the Immortals.

Mythu�nn folk have a completely different name for themselves, but no outsider can pronounce it. They have their own language, but their voices are too high pitched and fast for humanoid hearing. Some mythu�nn speak the ee�aar dialect, which they must speak very slowly. Any man-sized or larger humanoid must make a successful hear noise check to understand the speech of the mythu�nn.

Habitat/Society: Most mythu�nn are extremely curious, wanting to see everything - and the sooner the better. Mythu�nn sometimes even accompany adventurers of good alignment for brief periods of time. Such adventurous mythu�nn quickly learn the language of their �Big Folk� friends so that they can communicate. Ee�aar travelers often carry mythu�nn for good luck.

Mythu�nn are sociable and dwell in icy caves high on the mountain-tops. Their wondrous villages are carved and shaped from the ice - miniature fairy-villages, sparkling like cut diamond in the light. Mythu�nn protect their villages with patrols, each carrying a horn to sound an alert if necessary. A village can contain several hundred mythu�nn.

Individual mythu�nn carry little or no treasure. However, their villages contain at least a full treasure type A.

Ecology: Tyminids prey upon mythu�nn, pursuing the tiny folk relentlessly. Mythu�nn folk sometime hide in aeldar webs to elude these predators.

Mythu�nn live fast � about ten times as fast as most humanoids. A one year sojourn to see the world with a �Big Folk� friend seems like a decade to one of the adventurous mythu�nn. They live eight to ten years, although to them it seems like 80 to 100 years.

Mythu�nn mate for life; if one partner dies, the other partner then sickens and dies. A mated pair of mythu�nn will have three to five offspring during their fertile years. Twins are fairly common.
