Blupee

Cryptologic Name: Blagos chrimouneli
Planar Origin: Hylaea
Habitat: Forested areas, often at high elevation
Diet: Herbivorous

Appearance & Morphology
Blupees are small, furry creatures somewhat resembling rabbits. They have glowing blue fur across most of their bodies, with white paws and bobtail. Their faces are a lighter blue and have large, yellow-orange eyes and unusual branched ears.

Behavior & Magical Abilities
These odd creatures have a few unique powers to speak of, and are primarily centered around their own survival. First, these creatures can generate a powerful barrier around their body which shields them from physical harm. Additionally, they can teleport moderate distances, however this ability seems to have a delayed activation, as often when these creatures are attacked they will run a short distance before teleporting away.

Blupees are known to collect and horde gemstones, most commonly collecting a variety of stones known as rupees which are used as a form of currency on the creature’s native plane. It is ill-understood how or where these creatures keep these gemstones as they’re collecting them, as blupees don’t possess pouches like nifflers. However stashes of these gems have been found in blupee burrows, and when frightened they will often drop a scattering of gems on the ground as they begin to run from whatever spooked them. It is believed that they may have access to some sort of pocket dimension where they can stash these gems before delivering them to their burrows but nothing conclusive has yet been found.

Field Notes

• Blupees are believed to have gotten their name from the rupees which they collect and their blue coloration. It seems people on other planes are often as straightforward as Terran humans with their naming conventions.

• There are many theories about the origins of these unusual creatures and their powers. Given their similarities in appearance to rabbits which are known to exist in the history of their native realm but no longer in the present, Blupees may have been evolved from Hylaean rabbits prior to their extinction. Their flighty nature, magical barrier, and ability to disappear may also be a result of evolution which allowed them to avoid being hunted to extinction like their predecessors. Their habit of dropping Rupees may also be a defense mechanism to distract hunters. Furthermore, given their otherworldly appearance Blupees may be a spiritual manifestation of the wild rabbits that once inhabited Hyrule which would explain their glowing bodies and abilities.
