Why, that's a Stumper!

There was only one comment on the "Weekly What the Heck" from two weeks ago, even after I extended it. I'm going to call it done and write something up. Hopefully this morning's illustration will fire more imaginations than the poor mustached squirrel guy did.

I'd like to thank Ripper for his ideas, which have been mashed together with some brainstorming by me and the missus to create:

Stumper

These curious fey creatures befuddle travelers with their strange ramblings and enjoy watching their confusion.

Stumper Tactics

A stumper moves among its enemies, hoping to daze as many as possible with its stumping drawl.

Stumper Lore

A character knows the following information with a successful Arcana check.
DC 15: Stumpers enjoy sowing confusion in mortals unfortunate enough to cross their paths.

Encounter Groups

Stumpers are often found near other fey beasts.

Level 9 Encounter (XP 1,900)
* 2 stumpers (level 8 controller)
* 3 displacer beasts (level 9 skirmisher)

No really, Ripper's comment is in there - Wild West and cowboy boots became the drawl and the spurs.
