Puca

Puca are a variety of Fae.

Physiology & Behaviour
Puca are Fae that prefer to take the form of various black-hued animals that vary in shape and size. Puca are somewhat limited in forms depending on age. Young Puca can usually shift between cats, dogs, rabbits and horses. Older Puca can take the shapes of more animals, such as goats, hawks and even the appearance of Bogles.

Puca can assume human forms as well. When they do, animalistic traits, such as animalistic ears and a tail might be observed. These animalistic traits vary from rabbit ears, sheep horns and in rare cases, functional hawk wings. Their hair is generally black, and their eyes, usually red or yellow with a reptillian and felinoid appearance, much like a beast-based demon. Puca vary in personality. It is said that Puca tend to steal human crops and livestock in the guise of rabbits, dogs and even cats and hawks, but never intending to harm humans. Due to their sapience level, scarecrows are easily bypassed.

Breeding
When with other animalistic sapients or Pucas, they will

mate in the form of animals, occasionally shifting in shape during the process.

When with humanoids, they assume human forms to mate, preferably by what humans refer to as the 'missionary position'.

Weaknesses
Puca, like most Fae, are weak to iron. They are repelled by it, and when coming into contact with it, they will feel pain. Iron weapons are most effective on Puca.

Trivia

 * Puca have been known to form symbiotic relationships with Dullahan as their steeds. While they are commonly shown taking the forms of horses while doing so, some may take the form of goats or giant eagles.
 * It is said that there is a particular day when Puca behave. This day is when humans give Puca a share of their crops.
 * Evidence of humans being able to ride Puca exist only in legends, and no modern human has been successful in such.
