They enjoy terrorizing animals and humanoids, especially those in remote, rural areas. A mazap\xc3\xa9gul will often choose or \xe2\x80\x9cadopt\xe2\x80\x9d a humanoid or family of humanoids, committing all sorts of mischief to them, their household, goods, and livestock, and feeding upon the dreams of the humanoids at night. \n'b' A mazap\xc3\xa9gul is about the size of an average house cat, with similar fur and markings, and curved retractable claws. Its actual form resembles a monkey, with prehensile tail, and long, dexterous fingers and toes. Its face is humanoid, wrinkled and old, looking, with bright, yellow eyes. \n'b'  Haunters of Sleep . The mazap\xc3\xa9gul can gain sustenance from the dreams of humanoid creatures. The mazap\xc3\xa9gul climbs on a sleeping victim\xe2\x80\x99s torso, sits, and gazes at the sleeping humanoid, allowing its mind to enter the victim\xe2\x80\x99s dreams, feeding on their psychic energy and giving the humanoid nightmares. Even if its victim awakens, the mazap\xc3\xa9gul can force its will onto the victim, holding it in place in a waking nightmare while it continues to feed. \n'b'  Fey Tendencies . Despite their fiendish nature, some mazap\xc3\xa9gul cling to the traditions of their ancestors. Like brownies, they may assist their \xe2\x80\x9cadopted\xe2\x80\x9d humanoids in exchange for the food they receive (even though it is taken without consent). A humanoid may find its sleep terrorized by the presence of a mazap\xc3\xa9gul, only to wake and find the house swept and cleaned, or other chores completed for them.'
