=Brownie=

The "brownie" is a small, unimpressive-looking demon found within the British Isles. They call themselves the Urisk, but nomenclature aside, the brownie is a more daunting adversary than would appear.

Brownies are masters of deception, fading in and out of darkness and light, able to manipulate the forest in order to achieve its goals. This author remains confused by his encounters with the Urisk. They appear at times to be playful and benevolent beasts, at other times mischievous, and rarely, psychotically violent. The brownie, dressed in the clothing of English or Irish dandies, would seem a laughable threat.

I bare the marks of their teeth in my left side to prove otherwise. Dazzlingly fast and clever, they use their razor sharp teeth and small shivs to make short work of opponents. They do have weaknesses beyond the physical, however. Brownies love to gamble.

Challenge the brownie to a bet. Bet him your life against his on a coin toss. He will likely produce his own two-headed coin, but bring yours in case he doesn't. If either coin is revealed a fake, agree to a legitimate one. If you lose, you can still break the bet and murder him. The brownie is simply incapable of conceiving this option and will voluntarily die.
