Adze - The Firefly-Shapeshifting Netherworld Sprite
A spirit that transforms into green-blue firefly light at night, slipping through doors and crevices to sneak into dreams and drain vital essence; it can also take human form to sow discord and tribal hatred.
Tribal Epics and Origin Legends
A dark night demon of Vodou deeply believed in by the Ewe people of West Africa. It cannot be stopped by closed doors and windows, slipping through cracks in the form of a firefly. If captured, it reveals itself as a hideous humanoid entity. It specifically dwells within the bodies of narrow-minded, intensely jealous individuals.
Physical Traits and Supernatural Powers
Its true form is a giant firefly radiating a cold, ghastly green glow, flying without a sound; when it takes human form, it most often appears as a hunched figure with wandering eyes and an eerie, unsettling smile.
