A wee pact devil for Devilry Afoot


In Devilry Afoot, pact devils are capricious creatures eager to strike deals with hunters and lure innocent humans away to the otherworld. A pact devil may be the Devil himself, but is much more likely to be a member of the fairy folk or some petty demon.

I have chosen to model this pact devil as a leprechaun, converting a lovely Reaper Miniatures chap who is sculpted riding a turkey. Instead, this fellow is leaning against a standing stone with a passageway to the otherworld hidden at its base.

Leprechauns are said to be low-born fairies, or the children of degenerate fairys and evil spirits. Contrary to the modern depiction of leprechauns all in green, I have gone with the older folklore where they invariably dress in red.
